We flew into Atlanta, and didn't get in until like midnight. Ben told us that he hadn't wanted his parents to come so late to get us, like they usually do, so he had gotten us a hotel by the airport. We shuttled it over, and went up to our room, and lo and behold, his mom, sister and 3 nephews were all in fast asleep!!! He had taken us to their room, and our room was right next door. We chatted with them for a bit, and went to bed. We woke up the next morning with the plans to go to six flags, but Taylor started throwing up, so we decided to just head back to Wetumpka. I felt bad that Ben didn't get his six flags trip, I think that may be the only real reason he came! :) ha ha
By the time we got to Wetumpka, and gave ourselves a day to recover from traveling, before we knew it, it was the 4th of July.
Cute little charming Wetumpka has a little 4th of July celebration ever year. They have a big river that goes right through the town, and usually they shoot off the fireworks from the middle of the river, and everyone can watch from the banks and the bridges, but this year for some reason they sent them off from somewhere in the trees over there...
Jackson wasn't quite sure what to think of the fireworks. But he sure did love snuggling with grandma, and I'm pretty sure grandma loved the snuggling, too!
My best shot of the night! I love the reflection of the fireworks in the river and the people on the dock and in the boat.
The best part about the Wetumpka fireworks is that they are over in like 20 minutes, so we're not out super late with the kids.
After the show we went back to grandmas house, of course, and had to get a pic of the gang...
They also found some frogs which they were super excited about...
