Mom and Dad Bach drove up from Florida on Thursday night to spend the July 4th weekend with us. Since they got in really late on Thursday night (after midnight) we all slept in a bit, did a bit of shopping and then spent the afternoon by the pool. It was pretty hot out so it was nice to cool off in the water.
On Saturday (July 4th), we continued our tradition of "running" in the Peachtree Road Race (the largest 10K in the United States). We've ran this together each year since we started dating - only this year we decided to walk the race instead of run given Jen's condition :) The weather was actually very comfortable with very little humidity making the 6.2 miles more bearable! We finished the race in just under two hours. This was an okay time considering all of the pit stops made along the way due to Jen drinking lots of water to stay hydrated.
That evening, after grilling out, we all walked to Wills Park to watch the Alpharetta fireworks. The fireworks were really spectacular - more than what you would expect from a little town! Baby Jones wasn't sure what to make of all the noise - once the fireworks started he was kicking up a storm. We're not sure if he was excited or just startled! Clay had fun taking pictures of the fireworks with his camera since last year his batteries died before the show started.
Sunday was filled with church and a trip to Clay's hometown, Greensboro, GA. We spent the afternoon with his grandmother and uncle. Mom and Dad Bach had a good time visiting with them as well and seeing more of the town Clay grew up in.
Monday morning brought us all back to reality as Mom and Dad Bach headed back to Florida and we headed to work. We had a great time spending the weekend with them and hated they had to leave but we can't wait to see them again soon!
