Thanksgiving week and the boys are on vacation. So we spent a day going to Stone Mountain with Gram. This time of the year, Stone Mountain moves into "Christmas Mode" with lots of shows, decorations, and a Christmas movie in their 4-D theater--a shortened version of the Polar Express.
And coming soon is SNOW Mountain, where the park creates piles of man-made snow and you can go sledding on it. The boys want to go back for that!
I know I'm not exactly tall, but look--they are almost as big as me! When did that happen?
In the background you can see the snow in the works! (And the carving.)
Up to the top in the cable cars, then the usual running around on top of the mountain.
Having discovered the fence surrounding the viewing area, the boys love to go to it and stare out at the world below.
Sam needs a rest after all that.
Oh, no! Benny is sliding off the mountain!
Lunch was included with our tickets and we pigged out. Now we're on our way to the Polar Express 4-D experience.
They have all kinds of holiday things tucked in around the park.
Because it was very warm and muggy, slushies were required.
After a little play time, a little shopping, and a ride in the train all the way around the mountain, it began to rain. Hard. So we took off for home. But first a quick picture of the pretty lights strung all over the buildings!
