And look at the Mayor, looking all slim and trim.

Oh, and Doodle, I honestly didn't realize about the bad picture of you. And since I'm an equal opportunity picture poster, I'll post this lovely ditty Rick took when I got home

this is Carols report, I am just adding some extras like this one...........

Gee, H in a South Carolina shirt? Who would have thunk?

:rofl2: :rofl2: :heart: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Glad everyone had a great time! Great pics Carol!

Looks like quite a gab fest! ;D

I want to squeeze that little baby!! :heart: Is that one of Ken & Judy's? God bless those two.

He was a sweet little baby and sooooo good. Mine never would have sat in a carrier and just slept like that

Yes he is, Stef. And about the sweetest little handful ever!

I wish the world had no need for angels like Judy and Ken, but glad there are folks that will take care of all of God's sweet children!

The baby was so sweet. Ken and Judy are short term fostering it, though hoping it will stay for a little while. Hard to imagine a day spent with fiends being any better, but holding that baby was definitely the frosting on the cake.

Thanks for all the photos, Carol!

It was a great day!! My pleasure on taking the photos!

Yeah, just like Jen can most often be found in Auburn gear, we can count on H to have on SC gear!!

Yep, that's the one..

Lawdy, I look like a lobster..lol

Love the pics Carol!! you are the offical picture taker from here on out, I'm with Lorna, camera was brought and never removed from the bag :)

OK, I know most were gabbing so much to have time to take pictures, but I full well expect some pics and trip reports from SOME of the folks there!!!

I love me some photo bombs

Lots of fun!!!

Hay Genia!!! Like there is some other Big Time South Carolina College Team?

All right, take the squabbling outside you two!!!

OK, now it's Sunday morning "ish" and once again I'm over at TJs. Today's breakfast is pancakes and BACON!!! I knew I was going over to the park today, so I put the new zoom lens on the camera. Here I am playing around.

I make it over to the park around noonish and head for the Skylift. Donnie had purchased the passes to the park the day before, and he didn't want to use the 2nd day, so we split the cost of the pass.

Great Pics Carol, they speak volumes about good times and good Friends/Fiends. :)

Yes it does!! This is a special trip, because the Fiends seem to spend LOTS more time together, and it is WONDERFUL!!

That clothesline looks just tacky, IMHO.

I never even noticed the clothesline, was just takin a picture of the Musket Mickey :)

That zoom lens works good!

IMHO, it most certainly does!

Good job!

TCD

Thanks!

Anna is the cutest thing you have ever seen. She is always smiling and happy it seems. Just love her to pieces. :heartsmiley:

Your darlings are beautiful also!!

Those are awesome pics. What a cool place.

It is a cool place!!!

Time to continue.....

I have exited the Sky ride and am now wandering around the top of the rock. Even though it was hot down below. The wind was really whipping up here. Quite pleasant. Somebody made a comment as we stepped out to his spouse. "Well pick out your slab of granite for the kitchen". I thought that was funny. Stone Mountain is solid granite!

I'm guessing this was on the skyway on the way down. Big hole in the rock

Now I am back in the park wandering around. This is the big lawn where folks watch the laser/fireworks show. Some folks have spots staked out already

These are the terraces where they have reserved seating for the show. We had tickets for that evening. Didn't want to repeat last year's fiasco.

Next year I want to hike up the mountain. We saw the base of the trail from the train ride. Doesn't look like a bad hike. As long as it's not 95 degrees.

Your NUTS!!!!

You can almost see Chipper, Maddux, and Smoltzy's playground from up there. Go Braves!

Those were the glory years!!! Fortunately, I got to see both Maddux and Smoltzy pitch in person, and Chipper was smokin back then!!!

Yep, but unfortunately, their playground was torn down and turned into a parking lot, now all they have is this Turner place....... (just kidding, Turner Field is a beautiful ballpark. Fulton County had seen better days.)

Grew up a huge Braves fan, watching them several times a week on WTBS....starting back when they had the horrible teams in the baby blue uniforms and Dale Murphy was pretty much the only good player on America's Team!
