Up, Up and Away in a BEAUTIFUL Balloon

This BEAUTIFUL hot air balloon

flew right over our house.

There is something so soothing

and quaint about a community

where hot air balloons fly.

I LOVE IT!!

Stone Mountain with Wendy from Hong Kong

Wendy, from Hong Kong Kids II, 

came to work in Atlanta for a week.

We took her to see Stone Mountain.

Ammon, Wendy and Haleigh 

Stone Mountain Historic Village

 Ammon stuffed a penguin for Wendy's son.

 A walk in the stream.

 Wendy had never eaten BBQ before.

I wish the pulled pork, bbq sauce, 

mac and cheese, coleslaw and baked beans

and been a better sampling of Southern BBQ.

It was pretty bad actually.  What a disappointment. 

Ammon cooled off in the Geyser Tower.
