Shaun and I took the kids to Stone Mountain for a second time this last Saturday. We were joined by one of my good friends from church Deirdre Davis and her 10mth boy Ashton. Its been warming up quite considerable, and how better to take advantage of that than to go for a nice hike up a steep stone mountain?
Shaun had Isabel in our backpack (its a little too steep for her, but she did walk down the whole way), Ian was in his sling with me, and Deirdre bought a brand new backpack to put Ashton in. This backpack was pretty awesome, with a sunshade, and a little mirror so you can see your baby without taking the pack off. Unfortunately with the baby, and all the gear it was roughly 30lbs on her back. Her legs were extremely sore by the time we headed home. She was such a trooper.
We stopped midway for a breather, and a snack.
There are these depressions all over the top of Stone Mountain that many people mistakenly take for lightening strikes. According to the park its actually just weak spots in the mountain that eroded away. I'd like to think its lightening, much more exciting.
We made it to the top!

We relaxed by the lake to recuperate after the hike.
