Nanny to Mommy

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know a few weeks ago my hubby was on vacation from work and we decided that we wanted to have a fun staycation. We started it off with a Braves game at the new Sun Trust Park, we also updated our membership and went to Zoo Atlanta, and then my husband got an email about a great on an All-Adventure passes at Stone Mountain Park. For basically $25 per person, we were able to do everything in the park and I didn't realize how much they had to offer!

All-Attraction passes include access to: Summit Skyride, Dinosaur Explore, Scenic Railroad, 4-D Theater, SkyHike®, Camp Highland Outpost, Geyser Towers®, Dinotorium, Great Locomotive Chase Adventure Golf, Historic Square, and Discovering Stone Mountain Museum.

It has been unusually cold here in the Southeast thanks to that drastic climate change. My husband and I are from the south so we aren't use to this type of weather. What seems to make it the worst is that we didn't get any snow at our house so what was the point of all the cold? We love going to Stone Mountain. We love hiking the trails and everything else they have to offer. This time of year they have something called Snow Mountain and we wanted to see what it was all about.

My husband suggested last week that we take the kids. Our favorite thing to do is create memories with our children. I love giving the gift of experience instead of physical gifts. So we decided to look into buying passes. Their site suggested to buy tickets in advance so we did. With your pass you were able to get two hours of snow tubing and all day of playing in the snow. There were also options available for food as well as their additional activities, but we were just there for the snow.

Sunday, we were those parents. We climbed Stone Mountain with an almost 5 month old and a 3 1/2 year old. It was VERY hard and we have decided it is our first weightloss goal. To make it to the top without so many breaks. LOL

 

 

 

It was Peanut's first time there and SweetPea's first time climbing the mountain. It was me and Hubby's first time in YEARS. The last time I attempted to climb it, my sister, brother, & I thought we could carry my niece & nephew with a stroller to the top. HA! We didn't even make it halfway.

 

 

 

SweetPea took maybe a 15 minute nap in the car beforehand. There was one part that was super slippery. Hubby and I kept rotating the over 15 lb pound weight known as Peanut. But we stayed for the laser show after riding the tram to the top. So fun memories were had by all! We bought a year pass because we plan on going back and dominating it again! :D

Thanks, Momma!

 

 

Lizzie and I spent the night with my mom the night before.
We went to Target beforehand to get some snacks and stuff where I bought this cheapo carrier that sucked...or maybe I'm just bad at babywearing...

It was hard to find a spot I felt comfortable nursing. :C

I was going to feed her in the 4D theater, BUT it scared her and she was inconsolable.

My niece and nephews did the rock climb, but I had to let Caleb borrow my shoes. So my mom basically bought me an upgraded pass so I could watch the laser show. :/
I seriously felt really bad about that, but she said it was okay as long as I had a good birthday gift.
Which I did.

 

 

 

Still had a good time. And I finally got a good nursing session in right before the fireworks, which she just slept right through!

 

Fun times!
