Our 2nd Annual field trip to Stone Mountain was a great success! We headed out early Friday morning for our favorite event of the year!! We had a super fun time meeting up with a whole bunch of GCA families again this year. We actually found Jessica's teacher in all the people! It was great to meet her face to face. We hear their teachers online all the time, but don't get to see them! We lunched in the pavilion amidst the chaos that is GCA before heading out to see the sights. We loved exploring the park again and, of course, had to hike to the top of the Stone Mountain!! I was a little slower this year, but I made it and Jilli led the way again with her abundant energy!! I am amazed every time at how far you can see from the top. It's gorgeous! It was perfect weather for the climb- sunny, low humidity, at around 75 degrees with a great breeze. We brought water and sunscreen and really had a good time. At the top, Chris bought an ICEE from the snack bar and we devoured its icy goodness... mmmmmmm! After the hike, we drove around the park and found a 100 year-old covered bridge that we had to take a few trips across. It reminded me of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow... Spooky! We took lots of pictures! Enjoy!

You are so good to climb to the top! We've only been to Stone Mountain once, but we rode the cable car. Both ways. Eeek. I don't know that I even knew it was possible to climb! Yay for you!
