Stone Mountain passes

Stone Mountain has a "mountain member" pass. When we would go to Stone Mountain, we would skip all of that stuff and just do the free stuff, like roll down the hills, and chase after the bubble man... All this was fine and good until Megan invited us to be her guests on the bring a friend free day.  The kids and I went and had a BLAST!! It was too much fun.  It's like a tiny Disneyland! The ropes course and zip line:

Hawken got up to this point and then, "Ummm, no thank you." and got down. :)  Matix loved the zip line and went through the whole course a bunch of times just to get to the zip line again and again.

Lullaby and Allie patiently waiting for the boys to want to do something else.

The ball barn is exactly what it sounds like, a barn full of balls for the kids to collect, and throw, and shoot up pipes... too fun.

There was this little camper skit, and at the end they sprayed water, we knew they were going to so we tried to hang back, but we were a little too close and Allie, Hawken and Lullaby got sprinkled. They hated that part.  Tears and sobbing all around from them.  I promise it wasn't as devastating as the pictures make it look.

Carson and Matix were in love though.

Story time and Thomas the Train stickers afterward, another wonderful experience.

Geyser Towers are new to the park, and are more for the older kids, but of course, Matix was game. He climbed right up in there with the big kids and had a par-tay!  Hawken stayed outside the gate to get in and splashed in the puddles from the water draining out of the splash pad part. He was so nervous that day.

Lullaby fell asleep while the boys splashed around, sweet baby.  I had stripped her down because it was so hot that day.

I caught Hawken "tasting the yummy water" aka the dirty water on it's way down the drain to be sanitized.  He was on all fours like a puppy. Lovely.  Needless to say he DID get a cold a few days later because of it.

Well, it was SO fun, we decided we should get passes too. Since we already had the bracelets for getting in with Megan, we picked up Paul and went right back and upgraded to a mountain pass for only the price of one day.  Totally worth it! Since we bought these passes we have gone back TONS of times. There is so much to do there! That first day with Paul we rode the train, which is now something we HAVE to do every time we go.

Lullaby had her dinner in only a skirt on the lawn in front of the face of the mountain, while the boys rolled down the hill, for old time's sake. It was very picturesque.  :)  Thank you Megan for helping us find out about this new fun side of Stone Mountain, and for helping us get our passes!!
