What to do on a Three Day Weekend

We spent our Labor Day Weekend with Nana and Papa Smith! They arrived on Friday night, and we had a full weekend planned.
We had a great time at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. They have brand new trails to wander down and it was a perfect day to spend outdoors





























We also went to Stone Mountain.


The mountain was beautiful, but there was a lot more to do there. The girls really wanted to try the ropes course, Sky High, but the line was so long, we decided to try the mini course and come back later in the day to try the ropes.





The girls tried out the zip line and Casey made it all the way to the top of the rock wall. Alex tried it and decided it really wasn't her thing...
















We took the Sky Cab to the top of the mountain where the view was awesome. We stayed up there quite a while just enjoying the sights.


















Even though it was so nice just lounging around on top of a mountain, what goes up must come down, and so we did.

We stopped in at the 4D movie to get splashed and then finally, finally, finally...the girls got to try the ropes course. Dave went up with them and they all thought it as great fun!
















We had celebrated Papa's birthday on Saturday night with steaks on the grill, so for Nana's birthday on Monday we went to the Olive Garden.


Yummm, Nana can't take her eyes off this cake...
