Stone Mountain Excursion
Since Taxes are pretty much done and Bevan's internship is also finished (except for one last day on Tuesday), we decided to take advantage of the first Saturday in some time when Bevan didn't have to work and have an adventure. So we headed a little over an hour to the West of us to Stone Mountain State Park. While we were there we saw lots of deer, toured a restored 1850's mountain homestead (loving historic preservation as I do this was by far my favourite part of the day!) and hiked a 3 and half mile trail to see a beautiful waterfall. Along the way Liam had a great time tasting trees (I think he may have watched Willy Wonka one to many times) and splashing a little in all the mountain creeks and streams that came from the waterfall. Asher also had fun looking and pointing in his new surroundings, but ended up sleeping through most of the trip. Having worked up quite an appetite with all the excercise and fresh air we stopped off at Golden Coral for dinner on the way home. It was a great out of the ordinary day.

that is so funny because monday is our big day off and we just went hiking to red butte, which is really pretty and close to town. I haven't had an open saturday since last August, I know how you feel.
that waterfall is super awesome!
People use it as a waterslide when the water is warmer. I mean, the bottom is used as a slide.
that looks like fun, I would love to slide down that!
