Story of the Day for Dec 5th:
The family went to Callaway Gardens for the Festival of Lights. I have never seen the lights, but have heard much about it. Well, lets start with who the fam is: Me, Mom, Tim, Austin, MeMe, Aunt Wendi, Uncle Dan, & Mrs. Reba (Dan's mom).
This was deemed a "family adventure," and if you know my family, this is never good. Something always goes wrong if someone says it's a "family adventure."
Well, I slept most of the way up, which was quite nice, but also heard some old country songs (mom likes country) and since this is what I grew up with it's nice to hear some up of it, nice feelings of home. My favs that we listened to are by Tracy Lawrence "Paint Me A Birmingham" and "If the World had a Front Porch."
Then we got there, shopped a bit, and got on the trolley. We were all bundled up and had several blankets. The lights were BEAUTIFUL!! But on the trolley they told us to sign Christmas songs. Austin did not like this. Sooo it was really funny and of course I sang loud just for him! But then at the end we were supposed to say Merry Christmas to the people we were passing. Austin actually did, along with other little phrases, but...they were all nice! what a surprise.
Ohhhhhh and we had these REALLLLY redneck people on the trolley with us and Austin and I found it entertaining.
Well, we all survived, which is amazing, and it was really nice. This family adventure turned out nice. soo Merry Christmas!
