OPERATION APPRECIATION DAY

Today is "OPERATION APPRECIATION DAY", down at the pier they have an amazing day every year to give thanks to the military men and women and their families. Lots of food and rides. They always bring in a huge ole' hover craft from the ocean and beach it...so amazing to watch. They also bring in a variety of trucks, tanks and guns. Very fun to see every year.
Here are some great pics of the day....


This "SEA" squirrel was sitting on the fence hanging out...it has good balance.


Boomer loved this sign....


The girls have a blast climbing in all the vehicles....

















Boomer was in heaven with all these explosives...I think it is a boy thing....new guns, old guns, machine guns :)











remote control tank.....








Hover craft...this hover craft can hold up to 70 tons....they drive it up on the beach from the water and then drive off the tanks, vehicles on board...so amazing!!











A huge thanks to all that serve!!! You amaze me!!
