Last weekend, we went up to Dillard, Georgia for my dad's birthday. EV loved looking at the mountain and although we didn't get to stop by Tallulah Gorge we still had a nice time driving up and having lunch at the Dillard House. So ever since last week, EV has kept on asking, "Go up the mountain? Halbi's birthday? Go up the mountain and take pictures?" So, we decided to take her to Stone Mountain. Oh boy--Evangeline, you are one of the most strong-willed child I have ever met. You insisted on walking all the way up even though half-way through your ankles were shaky and every step would make you fall on your behind. You walked about 2/3's the way until we decided that enough was enough. You just kept screaming, "No, EV do it, EV walk, put me down!" So, after making it most of the way up, we decided it was time to go down and daddy had to force you into the ergo, just so that you can't wiggle yourself out of his hold. I was worried your little legs would be so sore this morning, but you woke up without any complaints and was ready to conquer another day!

| You always cover your ears when you hear a train coming--what an awesome treat, a mountain and train all in one day! |
 |
| Here you are ready to conquer this mountain! |
 |
| Taking a little break from the sun and stretching... |
 |
| Here we go--it was like a mini-rock climbing session for her. And she loved it! |
 |
| It's all about the placement of your foot! |
 |
| Yes--look at me, I am walking all the way up this mountain!! |
 |
| Even though towards the end her ankles were shaky and her legs were wobbling, she still had a huge smile on her face. |
 |
| Oh, and don't forget the pine straws and rocks she had to collect along the way. One for each family member and friend. |
 |
| Ahhhh--finally, just enjoying the view... |
 |
| Family picture time! |
 |
| This cracker is the best cracker ever--especially after an hour long hike up the mountain! |
