1st Visit with the Y Family for the Pumpkin Festival...where we did the scavenger hunt for pumpkin scarecrow families...watched a pumpkin pie eating contest and played in the big barn!
(we ended up buying the annual passes because they offered a deal too good to pass up)

2nd Visit with the H family...little A and Azaleia are playing friends...we love to meet up with them for the park or to be outdoors! This visit we went to the playground...and this pretty area. The kids loved finding rocks and acorns to throw in the water! It was so beautiful!
3rd Visit was to the activity area...where the Pumpkin Festival is. We took the traditional picture...went and played mini golf...well at least started playing mini golf. As soon as Azaleia saw the Choo Choo Train come...she started running over there...so our mini golf game was over and for a train ride we went! It was chilly that day...but sunny and beautiful! So glad we got the passes to have more family memories here in Georgia!
Stone Mountain is "the" mountain here in Georgia! This is what I learned about it on wikipedia...
Stone Mountain is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock in Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States. At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet (513 m) amsl and 825 feet (251.5 m) above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain granite extends underground 9 miles (14 km) at its longest point into Gwinnett County. Numerous reference books and Georgia literature have dubbed Stone Mountain as “the largest exposed piece of granite in the world". This misnomer is most likely a result of advertisement by granite companies and early park administration. Stone Mountain, though often called a pink granite dome, actually ranges in composition from quartz monzonite[1] to granite and granodiorite.[2] Stone Mountain is well-known not only for its geology, but also for the enormous bas-relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief in the world.[3] The carving depicts three figures of the Confederate States of America: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis.
Stone Mountain is a pluton, a type of igneous intrusion. Primarily composed of quartz monzonite, the dome of Stone Mountain was formed during the formation of the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains.[citation needed] It formed as a result of the upwelling of magma from within the Earth's crust. This magma solidified to form granite within the crust five to ten miles below the surface.
