The Laser Show 2009

This weekend, the weather was gorgeous! It was in the low 80's with a breeze so we decided to take advantage and go to the laser show at Stone Mountain. The laser show is an Atlanta summer tradition that Jason and I hadn't been to in a couple of years. So, we loaded up the car and the girls and headed down to meet the Bishops. Everyone else had the same brilliant idea that we did so we had to fight through the crowds to find parking and a space on the lawn. We ended up finding a great space where the kids could get up and dance and play and not bother any of our neighbors. We ate the traditional meal of KFC (yum!) and only had about 30 minutes until the show started! Perfect timing... The show was fantastic as always- my favorite song is always Georgia on My Mind and the Devil Went Down to Georgia. Ava thought the lasers were scary and wouldn't watch the show. About halfway through, she started watching the fireworks and ended up really enjoying the experience. What a great night- hopefully it will turn into something that we do every summer as a family.

We brought the wagon- it was a genius idea. Ava and Christian were having fun riding in the wagon and it also held several of our bags. You would not believe how much we felt we had to take to survive the laser show- seriously, you would think we were going on a trip for several days.

Just enjoying some fresh air


Hopefully these two will enjoy hanging out as much as Ava and Christian do...

They really do love hanging out together- aren't they adorable?

Jason and Caitlin

I wish I had filmed them dancing to the music- they were shaking their cute booties!

Everyone's awake- quick, take a picture!

Ben and his boys

They were sharing so well- it made me proud!

The fireworks were so fun!
