A quacker or two?
Trey driving the Duck Boat!
Patrick and the surprise at Stony Fountain
Trey and Stony Fountain
David and the woman at Stone Mountain Park Village!Janice arrived about the same time Steph and the boys did. She looks great! She has breast cancer and her hair is growing back in and looks great!
We headed out to the park! Steph and the boys have season passes for most attractions - except the ones we chose today! LOL We wanted to ride the Duck Boats. We'd ridden them in Boston and enjoyed it and thought the boys would, too. Well, one of them did!
Patrick was tired and didn't want to wear his life jacket. He was tired and didn't want a nap, but Stephanie prevailed and he ended up going to sleep with the life jacket on just as we got underway. Normally when they ride the Duck Boat into the water, it's slow and controlled, but not today. The driver hit the water at "full" speed. Kind of like riding a log ride! Patrick got drenched. He looked at his mother like she'd really ticked him off! Steph got a picture of him and then started laughing! She said she knew what Don was looking at when she got mad at him! Trey got to drive the boat and was thrilled.
Before we got on the boat, they gave each of us a quacker kazoo and we had instructions to quack at certain times and we did it well! The driver told one story where there was a wedding going on in the park and they all quacked at the bride. He said she was so thrilled she cried! LOL
After the boat it was on to the skylift. Trey really wanted to do this. Mimi didn't, but she did. David had command of Fearless Boy (aka Patrick) who was RUNNING down the mountain to the fence. What a day! LOL
When we got back down, David was walking along quacking his duck whistle - QUACK! QUACK! Patrick was about 3-4 steps behind him and would QUACK! QUACK! after PawPaw. People were really laughing at the two of them!
We got back to the village and David was "accosted" by a woman! Everytime we've gone to a theme park, he usually gets dragged into some sort of production and today was no different. It was really funny!
They have a fountain there called Stony Jackson and during the day it "speaks" to people and sprays water on them. Trey loved it and got soaked. I almost did until David pointed out where to stand (where it wasn't wet! DUH!). Patrick woke up from his nap in the stroller and wandered over to where we were - just about the time "Stony" got him in the back! He was less than thrilled!
All too soon it was time for everyone to go and Janice headed back to Macon and Steph and the boys headed home. We walked in the campground and met Jimmy and Pat Culpepper. He was a coach at Georgia Tech one time and a recently retired high school coach in Georgia. We had a great time talking to them.
Dinner and off to bed. Still raining every night!
See ya down the road!
Jenny :)
