Stone Mountain Christmas 12/30/2010

We decided to go out to do the Stone Mountain Christmas show since it ends on Jan 2. We really want to go back and do Snow Mountain but that does not end until March 6, since Brooke is not really tall enough to tube down by herself we thought we would take Lindsay back during her winter break in February, and let someone keep Brooke at home. You have to be 41 inches and willing to tube down alone. Lindsay is 41" and we figure is she wears her boots she will be just right!
Daddy and Brooke watch the Stone Mountain Christmas parade.

Everything in the village was lit up and so beautiful.

I have no idea who this is...I just thought she was really cute in her Pooh coat.

If you look very closely though this picture is dark, you can see the Coca-Cola Polar bear coming down the walk saying hi to everyone he can.

The actual start of the parade!

Mrs. Clauss, the Polar Bear, and the Ginger bread Man.

Gingerbread house, look VERY closely and there are BUBBLES coming out of the Chimney.

The Snow Angel! You will see more of her later.

The back of the Snow Angel.

The Snow Angel was the end of the parade, except for her dancing marching band guys who performed pretty well to music after she passed.


Part of thier performance.



The next thing we did was we went to a modern age version of The Christmas Carol that was performed by 2 guys and a girl. Some of it was pretty funny and some of it was kind of lame. Mike thought we could have just skipped it and most of the improve jokes went right over the girl's heads.

Still at The Christmas Carol, after that we went to a show called Sleigh Ride which was MUCH better they were dancing and singing to all sorts of Christmas songs and they did themes from around the World. That was Lindsay's favorite. I wish we would have had the camcorder because Brooke was dancing so hard on Mike's lap, even to the rap songs. She was soooo funny! Everyone on the row behind us was getting a kick out of her! She was just movin' and groovin'!

Waiting for The Snow Angel to fly by and make it snow. After she comes there will be a super fireworks show!


Here comes The Snow Angel...she is so pretty...kind of like Tinker bell. Plus she brings SNOW!!!

Look close it's Snowing!!!

Nice shot of the Snow Angel!

Here is Lindsay trying to catch the snow on her tongue!

More Snow for everyone!!

Mommy enjoys the fun artificial snow.

Lindsay, Mommy & Daddy all snuggled together.
The other really cool thing we did was we went to the 4D Polar Express movie. They managed to condense a two hour movie into a 20 minute experience that still gave you the meaning of the film and the powerful experience of the Magic of Christmas.

10-30-2010 Another trip to Stone Mountain

Brooke cleaning up the camp ground, every stick or pine cone she could find went into the trash bin.
Finally we got to ride the sky lift to the top of the mountain.

Here is the one before us coming down.


An image of the relief as we were going up. It only takes three minutes to get to the top.


The side of the mountain.


A look at the relief from the sky lift as we go up.

Here comes another car passing us on the way down.

A look at the engineering of the cables.

WELCOME we are at the top!

Paul gets a talking to from the Ranger as to where to fly the kite.

Kite is up. Tigger and Pooh are flying.

I found a rock to sit on for a few.

Mom and Dad checking out the sights.

Uncle Paul helps Lindsay fly the kite! How many 4 year olds fly a kite on top of Stone Mountain their first time up.
We are still flying!

Tigger and Pooh! Wahoo!

Aunt Agatha takes a break.

Brooke finds some sticks up on top of the granite rock...go figure.

Such a pretty day. We could see down town, Buckhead, the King and Queen building and so much more from up at the top.

Lindsay finds a stick and decides to "water paint" the rock.

Our family minus Brooke.

Dad & Mom
