She decided that she would make sure Aden made it to safety. Lindsey took him to a nearby motel telling him all the noise was coming from fireworks. When they got to the motel, a police officer and his wife were there and heard the story. They posted a photo of Aden to Twitter hoping to find his parents as quickly as possible.

Aden's grandfather saw the picture and quickly called the motel. The family was reunited the next day.
