We started off our day in Terrell Hills for their homegrown parade and city party. Local residents coordinate this fun family time and are also the parade participants. I remember decorating bike wheels with interwoven red, white & blue streamers a time or two growing up - it's that kind of thing. The booths and food afterwards included items from vendors sponsoring the event. The kids we were with had a fabulous time getting their hair painted, winning a finger puppet Statue of Liberty, and trying for dollars in the wind machine.
We then headed over to Lackland Air Force Base for fireworks. It was DUSTY and windy. A fabulous pyrotechnics show though, and there was a carnival nearby. I have not experienced fireworks with accompanying music before. That was enjoyable this time. Then at the end of the base show some other fireworks began in the sky just to the left. As we walked to our cars we were able to watch some extras.
Hooray for colored, exploding lights!
... land of the free, home of the brave ...
