Memorial Day Weekend Part I

We have already been in full swing enjoying our Memorial Day weekend. My stepsister had a small wedding ceremony on top of Stone Mountain yesterday afternoon, so we went as a family to the event. It was the perfect day because some of our good friends had invited us to the laser show that night, as well.
We rode the skyride to the top of Stone Mountain and explored the top and the amazing view.
 

 
Gram and Grumps hosted a reception for the wedding guests at a park restaurant afterward. Tuttle and Maggie were so well behaved. We have finally entered the stage of enjoying meals at a restaurant without stuffing food in our mouths as fast as possible. :) YEAH!
 
We headed to the lawn to watch the laser show next, and we completely enjoyed hanging out in the grass for a few hours before the laser show. The kids ran around while the adults lounged around and chatted. It was so relaxing!
 

 
 



 
We even got a successful family photo!
 
 
Jay and I had both seen the laser show as kids, but we had not been back in years. This was one of the biggest days of the year for crowds to come, but the lawn provides enough room to run around and not feel cramped.
 
 
The show didn't start until after 9pm, but Tuttle and Maggie were so good waiting for it to begin. They usually go to bed at 8pm, so we were curious how they would act staying up so late. Tuttle was in awe the entire time during the show while Maggie fell asleep in my lap about halfway through.
 
It was a perfect day with sweet friends to kick off the summer.
