768 April 8-10, 2022 Stone Mountain Campground With The Littles

Although Oliver was still recovering from his awful GI bug, he was eager to go camping in the RV with us at Stone Mountain. Austin was instantly on board! The two boys dragged their suitcases into the hall and I began to issue instructions: “Bring me 4 pair of underwear.” They each ran to their rooms, proudly coming back with underwear. They dumped them into the suitcase and then ran to get pajamas, then shirts, and so on. We couldn’t forget pillows and favorite blankets and lovies…and books…lots and lots of books!

We arrived at Stone Mountain and the boys were thrilled to explore the RV or our “house on wheels” and our campsite. Oliver had been with us once when he was very small. Austin had never been. We were camped right next to the lake. We took a walk around and then enjoyed some snacks by a campfire.

The boys got showers which they enjoyed tremendously and then we read until they were sleepy.

Saturday morning was chilly, windy, and damp. Luckily, I had thought to get a new LEGOS. Each of the boys has a remarkable ability to assemble projects and we had lots of fun.

We packed picnic food and then went for a hike at the base of the mountain. Oliver thought it was the biggest mountain in the world. We walked as far as an overlook where they could see all of the City of Atlanta far in the distance.

We enjoyed our lunch and the boys played on the playground.

We did more walking and dyed Easter eggs and played and played and played.

Another campfire and more stories until bedtime.

Sunday morning, we took the Sky Ride to the top of Stone Mountain.

We had the very best weekend. It is always such a joy to share something we love so much with the people that we love.
