Fort Benning had an Independence Day celebration this past Saturday. We decided to brave the heat and celebrate too. They had jumping houses, splash pools and just about every fair type food you could think of. There were so many kids in the jump houses we didn't risk Eloise being trampled. She was just as happy hang out with us. She thought it was fun to run around all the groups around us too. Not so much fun for Mom and Dad chasing after her. There were so many people there!
We mainly went to see the fire works so we got there around 7pm. The fireworks didn't start till 10pm! We had lots of time on our hands. They had a live band playing so we enjoyed listening to them.
Eloise kept busy sipping on juice,
laying half on, half off the blanket,
trying to blowing bubbles,
drinking Mom's water,
munching on shaved ice,
and eating doritos.
It was so HOT! According to my phone it was 100 degrees at 8pm. Woo's hair was soaked and her cheeks flushed. She still had fun dancing to the music on her Dad's shoulders.
Last year we watched fireworks in Baltimore, they were so very sad. Fort Beinning's were great! They lasted about 20 minutes or so. The MCoE Band played songs as the fireworks were being shot. It was really nice.
Eloise's reaction to the fireworks was kinda funny. Poor thing is not the bravest girl but then again she was very tired. Here's the progression she made during the fireworks.
Happy Independence Day!!
