Stone Mountain--Atlanta

We also had a great afternoon at Stone Mountain. They had a Christmas Spectacular event and we were able to enjoy it with the Thompsons. We went on Dec 27th, which was a little difficult because Santa was already on "vacation" after delivering all the presents.

Here is a folk singer/story teller that had entertainment geared to toddlers and preschoolers. It was very amusing and the kids really got into it.

Then Mrs. Claus came and told the kids stories. She was a really good Mrs. Claus! :)

This is the reason the park is called "Stone Mountain". This carving of the Confederate Memorial (Carving depicts three Confederate heroes of the Civil War: Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson)

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.

This guy was a GIANT bubble blower. It was really cool to watch. Shawn was really interested in his bubbles.
They had these wooden signs all over the park. They had funny sayings on them. This one was mine and Kathy's favorite. It said "He who laughs last, Didn't get it at first."


They also had this great 3D Polar Express show. It blew snow on us and had all sorts of cool effects. Shawn was mesmerized. So fun! :)
