Fireworks at Aigrefeuille July 14

Bastille Day Evening Fireworks in Aigrefeuille

It was time to celebrate Independence Day that evening. We joined up with some neighbors to go to a nearby town where the rugby team had organized a community dinner before the fireworks. We arrived about 8:30 and bought our tickets for dinner. They didn't have a lot of choice but the french fries were very appealing! You had your choice of sausage, ham or fresh oysters! Sides were local melon or a salad and dessert was ice cream bars. We sure had a good time with our group though. There was a stage with performers too who sang and danced.


With all the good music and some food in my stomach, the music called to me. So since we were on the edge of the crowd, guess who got up and started dancing! They all laughed hysterically. I thought I put on a pretty good show!  I even got Cloe (age 11) to dance with me. 



Fireworks were not far away on the edge of the small lake. So we had the reflection on the lake when the fireworks were shot in the sky. We all sat together and sang songs until it was time to see the exposition. Then it was time for the wave of people to disassemble to their cars. We were parked side by side with our friends so we were sitting in line on the road to exit for quite awhile. To amuse ourselves Robert put his ipad on the roof of his car with videos of us to watch. Then Anne and I played fire engine and jumped out of our car and jumped into their car. Anne sat on top of me and we had great fun with our frolic. Such a fun group a people made it all possible.


Bedtime was 12:30am.
