Stone Mountain

Just after we stuffed ourselves silly with Thanksgiving dinner, we decided to climb Stone Mountain.  

Matt kindly carried Mary on his back.  That way Greg could carry David if he needed a little help...which he didn't because his enthusiastic cousins kept him motivated.
The above picture is special.  It's the first picture of Matt and Mary--finally!  Matt was the first person on Greg's side of the family to meet Mary.  He held her in his arms when she was just one day old--and there wasn't a camera to be found!  Mary had some quality time on her uncle's back to get reacquainted.

The cousins!!
It was a steep hike (especially with bellies full of turkey), but we all made it.  Kudos to Greg who did it less than eight hours after running a half-marathon!

Hanging out at the top...
Looking at the view.  (Which was beautiful.  The weather was beautiful too!)
And heading back down. . . 
A perfect post-feast outing.  I sense a tradition in the making.
