While we were standing in line to get a ticket, a guy walked up with a banjo and asked us a question, but I didn't understand what he said cause I don't speak hillbilly! So I thought he said do you want to sing-a-long? He said oh, you want to sing...ok, ladies and gentlemen, she wants to sing! I wanted to crawl under a rock! He started singing and asked everyone to sing too! It was funny!
Then we went to the big great barn where Rylan and Ethan could play for a little bit. Rylan went straight to a bin of balls and then just kind of stood there cause there was a loud noise and he was trying to figure it out!
He is such a climber and then loved going down the slide!
A moment to sit on the horse
He went in the tunnel and we were trying to get him to go to the other side, but it was full of balls and caught his attention a little more!
Coming out of the tunnel with as many balls as he can carry!
Erin helping him shoot the balls through the guns!
Then we walked across the net...that I was to sure of and neither was Ethan, but Rylan wanted to walk!
Then Rylan wasn't too sure about it anymore!
He cracked me up because he would hear a noise, stop, put his hand up and kind of ask, huh?
Rylan and Ethan had it made in the strollers being pushed around!
Erin and Rylan
Erin flashing that belly with miss Emalyn :)
The train that goes around the mountain
Me, Rylan, Ethan and Kimberly headed to the train
Me and little man waiting to get on the train for his first train ride!!!
Erin and Rylan
He didn't know what to think of this thing!
Rylan danced to every song he heard!
Erin, Rylan, Ethan and Kimberly
I thought this was too cute!
After the train we ate lunch and then decided to go see the 4-D movie! Its a kids movie and I didn't quite know what the difference from a 3-D and 4-D movie was until we got in there. The wind blows on you, water sprays on you, the seats shake! At one point a snake comes out at you and he opens his mouth and kind of hisses...a shot of air hit my face and I screamed! It was hilarious! Cause I am a 29 year old woman screaming at a kids movie! I just didn't expect the air in my face...made it very real like!!!
Me and Rylan in our glasses before the movie started
Ethan, Kimberly, Erin, Rylan and Me before the movie started
When we came out of the movie, there was a man singing a song and Ethan and Rylan were just fascinated by him and stood there and listened!
Then it was off to see Bob and Larry from Veggie Tails!
Rylan was giving hi-fives!
Then posing with them :)
Next was the top of the mountain! I am not a huge fan of heights and have never gone up the sky buckets at Stone Mountain before...so this was a first for me and Rylan!
This is the view going up
Rylan wanted to walk, it was so cute seeing him walk out on top of the mountain!
Rylan and Ethan (too cute)

Rylan and Erin
Kimberly, Ethan, Me, Rylan and Erin
I was like a kid in a candy store and left them behind to go look out at the skyline! It was such an amazingly freeing moment for me for some reason!
You can see Atlanta and Buckhead from up here!
Rylan spent the time picking up as many rocks as his little hands could hold!
If you haven't heard of Stone Mountain, here is a little history for you:
The mountain is 825 feet tall and covers 583 acres. The top of the mountain is 1,683 feet above sea level. The entire carved surface of the Memorial Carving measures three acres, larger than a football field. The carving of the three men towers 400 feet above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. The deepest point of the carving is at Lee's elbow, which is 12 feet to the mountain's surface. Only 1% of the entire mountain is visible, the remaining 99% goes down under the ground.
The carving on the side of the mountain is of the three Confederate heroes of the Civil War: Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson 
After a long, fun filled day, little man fell asleep on the way home!
So did Ethan :) too cute!
