Stone Mountain

While we were visiting Atlanta we decided to go to Stone Mountain. I'd been there before but I'd never been to the very top. Well with three kids climbing was out of the option so we took the sky ride to the top!  Olivia didn't care much for the sky ride but she did have fun when we got to the top. Ava enjoyed it all...she wanted to walk right to the fence that prevented you from falling down the side of the mountain...I made her back up a little...no accidents for us! It was a gorgeous day and you could see miles away!

 Looks like they are going to walk off the mountain!

 Ava holding up the world!

 Olivia exploring.

 Best family pic!

Haha! Oh Daddy!

Yellow River Game Ranch

I'm a little behind lately...so sue me! Blame it on the poor internet connection! Anyways over Easter weekend we made a trip to Atlanta to visit family. Our first stop was the Yellow River Game Ranch. This is a place where you can feed animals like deer, sheep, squirrels(don't get me started on that one), pigs, bears, rabbits etc. The girls had a blast! This was Olivia's first visit and she quite enjoyed feeding and chasing the animals. No fear there! When she wasn't busy feeding them she was helping herself to the crackers as well. She's such a sneak. Another great visit to the game ranch!

Here's Ava posing with some irises while we wait for the ranch to open.

 We didn't actually camp in it, thankfully because it ended up pouring ran that night! Ava and I did roast some s'mores in the outdoor fireplace though!
