Snow Mountain Christmas

On Friday after Thanksgiving, we went to Stone Mountain again. We had been promising Drew we would go after the first time we went and chose to go after the TG holiday to enjoy the Christmas festivities. We were able to go with the Homer family, and we all had such a good time.
We started off with watching the Polar Express movie in 4D at the Stone Mountain theater. It was really neat when they sprayed water in your face as the train hit ice and you could smell the hot chocolate that was served on the train. It also looked like it was literally snowing in the theater as well.
Then, we rode the train (Drew was enamored again) and they played fun festive Christmas carols the whole time. Next, we played 18 holes of miniature golf. Drew had a blast playing golf since we have been playing with his indoor golf set Uncle Damon and Aunt Amy gave him last year for Christmas. When he'd get the ball in the hole, he'd run off screaming, "I did it! I did it!" It was too cute.
We ate some burgers for lunch, saw the snow angel, and then saw a musical Christmas show that really got you in the spirit of the holiday. Then, we saw a comedic portrayal of Charles Dickens' Scrooge story which was acted out really well, drank hot chocolate and waited in the rain for Santa Claus. Drew was excited to see Santa Claus and he proceeded to tell Santa all the trains he wanted for Christmas. It was so fun to see him really get into the holiday this year. Finally, we saw the holiday laser light show that they project up onto the mountain. The many lights that were lit at night were beautiful and it was such a wonderful day!!!

At least Drew looks happy in his photos with Santa. I know many a child who is traumatized by meeting Santa.

Maybe David was the one crying...Santa can be traumatizing to those with such little minds...hahahah

SO cute. What a brave boy. It was just this year that Cole actually walked up to Santa and told him what he wanted, mind you he didn't actually sit on his lap. It sounds like you guys had a great time!
