Camping Trip

We went camping at Stone Mountain this past weekend. It was SO much fun and perfect weather. My brother and his 3 kids and my sister and her son came with us. It was great just to sit around a fire, talk, and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The tents were successfully put up by my 2 girl scout nieces who have probably put more tents up than any of us combined. On Saturday...we climb Stone Mountain. Phew...what a workout, but a great accomplishment when we made it to the top! It's so beautiful up there. Our parents came and had supper with us Saturday night but went home to sleep in there warm and comfy bed. We watched the laser show Saturday night, which was freezing but so much fun. My brother's kids had never been to the park so this was an awesome experience for them. Here are some pics!!
