"On July 28th, laughter and fun are just a couple of the requirements on National Waterpark Day! We also recommend bathing suits! Waterparks around the world provide thrilling, water-plunging rides for those who seek the white-knuckle hydro-power of slides. For those who prefer to relax and unwind, waterparks answer the call. Vacationers find lazy rivers, wave pools, and spas in tropical scenes quite satisfying. With so many options to choose from, waterparks can be more than just a portion of a vacation. They can be the destination. In the United States, nearly every state has a waterpark. Impressively, the Wisconsin Dells is the Waterpark Capital of the World. However, the largest indoor park in America is currently at Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania. From the youngest family member to grandma and grandpa, thereβs a splashable, relaxable experience for all. On National Waterpark Day, enjoy all the memory-making waterparks have to offer!"
My notes: Who likes waterparks? I haven't gone in a long time but they were quite enjoyable, tho a bit on the crowded side.

Haven't been to a waterpark in a very long time. I do like them...they're lots of fun and an excellent way for all ages to unwind & play.
But, it is true...they are always crowded.

"On July 28th dive into the ever-popular National Milk Chocolate Day. When it comes to chocolate, this sweet easily pleases. On average, we recognize three chocolate holidays a month. Interestingly, July celebrates chocolate as often as February. Solid chocolate, when combined with either powdered, liquid or condensed milk, is known as milk chocolate. While candy bar makers use milk chocolate to make their most popular candy bars, the treat isnβt the healthiest of the chocolates. Dark chocolate takes home the honors for nutrition. With added sugar and fat, milk chocolate packs on the calories. Add to that, milk chocolateβs popularity in baked goods, and the calorie count keeps going up. Donβt forget, we add it to specialty coffee drinks and other beverages, too." My notes: I have always liked chocolate. Milk chocolate is sweeter than dark, which to me is too bitter. If you do get chocolate, make sure it's organic, non-GMO, & most importantly sustainable. & then treat yourself

Milk chocolate is okey, but I'd rather have dark chocolate. Justin's Organic Peanut Butter Cups and Equal Exchange Organic dark chocolate bars

Which is your favourite brand? Mine is the vegan No Whey brand. Not organic but is non-GMO. Reminds me of Palmer's chocolates. What about you?

These words are alien to me. We knew chocolate only when it started arriving in plastic wrapped packs.

I love milk chocolate and it's definitely my favourite especially if there is quite a bit of milk in it which creates a very nice, milky flavour. Dark chocolate is also great. Not a huge fan of white chocolate though

Justin's isn't bad. These words are alien to me. We knew chocolate only when it started arriving in plastic wrapped packs. Interesting! We tend to take for granted what we get here. We definitely have a wider assortment. & if we can't find it, we use the internet & order online! I love milk chocolate and it's definitely my favourite especially if there is quite a bit of milk in it which creates a very nice, milky flavour. Dark chocolate is also great. Not a huge fan of white chocolate though I don't care for white chocolate either. Has a chalky taste IMO.
Found this out:
"White chocolate does not contain cocoa solids, which are found in other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate and dark chocolate."

Packed foods were not something normal, until last 2 decades.

"Buffalo Soldiers Day on July 28th commemorates the formation of the first regular Army regiments comprising African American soldiers in 1866. Congress established the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army after the end of the Civil War. The Buffalo Soldiers (one of many African-American regiments raised during the Civil War) were the first instituted."
My notes: Anybody who served in the military should be commended! It's not an easy job fighting for your country's freedom.
