4th of July Recap

Wow! What a fun weekend! The family decided to travel to Atlanta and spend the weekend with my parents and brother and his family. We left on Wednesday and stayed through yesterday. While we were there we visited with my grandmother, Lance helped my dad in the yard, I took Mom to the grocery store for the items needed to cook on the 4th, my brother and sister-in-law threw a birthday party for my nephew, and we went to the zoo. It was lots of fun! Check out the pics below:

Logan and my nephew Will are having a staredown!

The guys are monitoring the progress of the grilling.

Okay, does Nick look like he's about 16 in this picture? Makes me sad!

My nephew had a Thomas the Tank birthday party. Duh! I guess you could tell that, huh?

We sat on this porch at the zoo for about an hour waiting for the rain to stop.

Listen carefully for the thunder in this video. It was like a monsoon!

Unfortunately, on the way home we came to a halt on the interstate for about an hour due to an accident that had at least 2 fatalities. Doesn't Nick look like he's enjoying the wait?

We were eventually turned around and sent on a 45 minute detour that got us about 8 miles up the road back on the interstate. We got home at 4:00 a.m. instead of the original ETA of midnight.
