We had a lot of fun. Went to a friends house so the kids could drive their little cars around and play in the kiddie pool while we drank and relaxed. Then we drove over to Fort Hood so Ash could play in the helicopters and tanks in the 110 degree heat. Not long for those temperatures, we hiked back to the bus to get back to the car to drive back to Pflugerville to relax and watch the fireworks from our house.
Ash had a blast trying to make the tanks do something when we were at the base. He flipped every switch, pulled every knob, pushed every button. I hope they check those things thoroughly before doing anything with them.
Fireworks were from the house behind ours. We’re outside of city limits and every street in our neighborhood competes for the biggest display. Going outside on New Years Eve or the 4th of July is like walking into the middle of a giant, hour-long explosion.
Karina took some shots that look like stylized palm trees which I think are cool.
Hope everybody had a great 4th!
