If you've ever thought to yourself "that looks like a fun!" while watching people walk on suspension bridges high above the ground, your opportunity is here.

Stone Mountain Park, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has a new attraction - the Sky Hike.

Trek through the treetops. You can choose how high you want to "walk on the wild side." Trails are 12 feet, 24 feet and, for the truly intrepid, 40 feet up in the air.

Participants have to wear covered shoes and are strapped into harnesses for their own protection. For additional information about the Sky Hike at Stone Mountain Park, click here.

It's summertime, and the kids are antsy.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of all the Atlanta parents asking - what do I do with these kids?

Here are a couple of fun, frugal activities to explore with the kids in Atlanta this summer.

Centennial Olympic Park. Built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic games, Centennial Park remains a family favorite. Kids love to beat the heat by frolicking in the water fountains. Park entry is free. Centennial park holds 4th Saturday family fun days each 4th Saturday April through September. For a list of events, visit the Centennial Olympic Park web site.

Free Movies at Regal Movie Theatres. Regal's Free Family Fun Festivals offers a way for your kids to sit in air-conditioned comfort and watch a fun G or PG rated movie. Movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Free Family Film Festival is not available at all Regal Theatres.

Your local public library. Stop by your local public library, and you'd be surprised at the range of fun activities available for the kids. Libraries have everything from storytelling to movies. Your Georgia county's larger libraries may have a wider variety of activities.

You pick-it farms. Play in the dirt and help a local farmer at the same time. At Metropolitan Atlanta-area you pick-it farms, you and your kids can spend time picking everything from strawberries to tomatoes. You have to pay for what you pick, but you usually end up saving a significant amount of money. For a list of Georgia you pick it farms, please click here.

So, there you have it. Four ideas for fun and frugal ways to keep your kids occupied during Atlanta's hot summers.

Oh, and one more thing - take MARTA public transportation whenever possible. It is the smart, frugal way to get where you're going in Atlanta.
