Happy 4th!

It was a long day to say the least. It all started with the race this morning (see post below) and ended by watching the best fireworks in this area. We always go to the post celebration on post. I just love it. It is so patriotic. First, you just see a sea of soldiers. This is because the trainees are allowed to celebrate their first 4th of July in the Army. The U.S. Army Soldier Show also plays along with some bands. They have tons of booths and bounce house stuff for the kids to do. At the end, they shoot off the fireworks played with a bunch of patriotic songs. It really is the best. Also, it is a special day for Jon and I. It is the anniversary of our first date. Technically, it was our second because we went out the evening before, but I don't really count that because we mostly just drove around acting like friends. July 4th was more of a date.

Waiting in line for the velcro jump:

Getting animal balloons/swords:Meeting Spiderman (how goofy does this guy look?)

Then meeting a Transformer, Iron Man, and Rocky Balboa! Who comes up with these ideas??

Just a few of the thousands of troops there.

Nathan had to show Owen how to stick out his tongue in a "rocker" mode during pictures:
