The Stone's & Stone Mountain

Wow! I cannot believe it has been over two weeks since I posted last. I didn't realize that I have been so busy. Between swimming lessons, church callings & vacation, we have not been home.
We took a small vacation over the weekend, we spent the 4th of July at Stone Mountain, just outside of Atlanta. We had a lot of fun and made a few great family memories.



The park was very busy on the 4th because Stone Mountain does an amazing laser and fireworks show. Our plan was to be there all day and into the night so that we could watch the fireworks. At about 3:30 we had had enough of the heat. The crowds didn't even bother us that much. The heat was horrible! We decided to just go back to our hotel and swim in the pool since the boys LOVE swimming. Once we were back at the hotel it felt more like vacation..lol.

We found a new favorite restaurant..the only problem is that it is over two hours from our house :(


The first day we were gone we went to the Atlanta Temple. We knew that it would be closed for renovations but we still wanted the boys to see it. The gates were open so we got to walk around the outside.

I believe that the most fun was spent in our hotel room. The boys had a riot wrestling on the floor and Gavin spent so much time in front of the mirror talking to himself..lol




We were only gone for 3 days but it was fun and much needed. Now we are looking forward to Christmas when we go away as a family and enjoy another new destination :)

Here are a few extra pictures that I thought I should include..

While we were in Stone Mountain Tanner was getting tired of all the walking. Grandma was fine with this..lol..she just doesn't look like it :)
