Snow Mountain

For the last couple years Stone Mountain has had an attraction called Snow Mountain and you basically play in the snow and slide down the entire lawn in front of the mountain!  It was worth the $$ and the kids LOVED it!  They were at the perfect age.  Luckily Jackson was tall enough to ride everything and Bailey was tall enough to ride the family tube down the mountain.  We were EXTREMELY bundled up b/c it was in the 30's that day and it was well worth all the hassle of getting it all together.  I didn't have a single complaint about being cold from either kids...and I actually was warm enough too which is a miracle!


Here is the Ballard clan standing in front of the mountain...what a cool shot.



Jackson rode everything, which was a HUGE shock to me!!!  Seriously!  He is afraid of his own shadow and wait until you see what he rode by himself! ha!

Bailey said a big fat "NO" to the little slides in the snow play area.  She wanted no part in them.  Jackson LOVED them!

At least everyone is smiling in this one ;)



Hugging her snowman.  Precious!

Of course he is making snow angels!

The view from up top!

Ok, here is what you see when your about to go down in the family tube.  You can't really tell from the picture, but that is a STRAIT drop right off the bat!  Pretty scary stuff even for an adult.  The kids LOVED it and Bailey kept asking to go again ;)

And here is the view from the bottom.  To the left is the single tube slides.  And Jackson went on that all BY HIMSELF!!  I was completely shocked and think that is crazy!  He apparently loved it too! ha!





And no, Amy and I are not pregnant, we just have supplies for 5 children in our pockets! HA!

By the end Bailey had enough and just wanted to lay with me in the snow! Both kids did great and I was very proud of them for hanging in the snow for 3 hours :)
