Family Camping at Stone Mountain

For Father's Day, we went camping at Stone Mountain State Park.

Had to try out the new tent!

Breakfast was breakfast burritos I made at home and froze, so we just threw them on the fire to warm up in the morning....potatoes, venison sausage, eggs, cheese...yum!

Some great hiking trails. Here the boys are planning our path.

Can you see the moon in the sky?

An old chimney still left in the woods...we were taking turns telling stories and trying to figure out how old it might have been.

Yep, made me feel realllllly good as we kept on walking!

DON'T lean over the edge, did you not just read the sign?!

The water was moving fairly quickly.

That is a steep drop off.

My sweet boy, rock jumping.

She took a notepad with her and stopped along the way to draw pictures.

My oldest! I cropped the picture, or else you would see how tall he is!

About the middle of the falls.

The resting stop at the half way point...

The kids counted, there were 327 steps to go down and then, 327 to go BACK UP!

My sweet girl, sitting at the bottom and drawing the waterfall.

So very pretty once we got to the bottom.

Shoes off and playing in the water.

All the cuties together.

Look at the rock I found, Mom!

The water splashing.

The view from the top of part of Stone Mountain. There were multiple "peaks" and so I'm not exactly sure which one is the "top"...they all seemed to be about the same height. The loop around was about 3.5 miles. Quite a hike!

They love to do these "jumping" shots. I just love the facial expressions!

This one is cute as well....
And, then our battery ran out. No pictures from Day 2!
It was definitely a fun and enjoyable family camping trip though :)!
