Event - July 3rd, Flag City Freedom Celebration

Today we joined our community at Navy Lake, in Millington TN for a fantastic fireworks show.

The children were excited. My boys haven't ever seen anything like this, as we have either done fireworks at home, it was illegal in Virginia (although we got away with a little fun occasionally there)...and we chose not to fight the beach crowds.

I haven't ever heard so much ohhh's and ahhhh's from them. They begged us to go back next year, and I have to say it was cheaper than trying to make a big display at home. We had a picnic, got rained on...but still had a great time. I am making a check list of things to bring next year to make pass the time and make it more enjoyable.

Below are a few of the pictures, of the event. According to the Bluejacket (Navy's weekly news)...there were 10,000 of us weathering the rain to watch the show.
