July 14th Bastile Day!
















BASTILE DAY!! HAPPY BESTILE DAY!! Today was such a fun day! This morning we went and tried to go see the parade but there were so many people and it was litterally impossible to get in and see anything! It was a little sad and disapointing but it was fun to be out in the crowds and paticipate in France's Independance Day. So we decided to head back to the hotel and "do homework" until we went back out and stake out our spot for the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. Well that was the intent of doing homework but I fell we all fell asleep and had a nice nap. After we woke up we headed over to the Eiffel Tower to see if we could find a good spot for the fireworks and there were already a TON of people there and there were no spots left on the grass so we found a good spot just off to the side near the curb. It was a great spot, we could see everything really well. Well we got there like 6 hours before the show so Beccah and Malory went and got a blanket and some treats while Jenna and I stayed and saved our spot. While the girls were gone so many people came and the area was filling up pretty fast so we were really grateful that we came when we did. Bec and Mal came back and they brought cards to play games and treats. It was so much fun, we had a good time with my camera too, hence the fun video, don't worry because that is just one of like three i think of videos. It was a good night. Just a few hours before the show we spoted some of our friends from the group and they came and sat by us, I'm so glad that they found us, it made it that much more fun. Anyways, the fireworks eventually started and oh my...the best firework show that I've ever seen! It was so cool and it was longer than your typical show. It was incredible! My other video is that last part of the finally. Its been such a good day, its been so much fun!
