But Grandma, Evan, Vika (my aunt), and I decided not to go to it, because it was raining. Because we didn&#8217;t go to the air show, we decided to go to the celebration of Day of Paratroopers. We came to the celebration when the tanks were dancing. By dancing, I mean driving under music and SHOOTING (bang bang!). Evan got too scared and went home with Grandma, but Vika and I stayed. Also at that time paratroopers were climbing down a 10-story building (of course, with ropes). They did flips and shot from their guns. They also let loose flags from the top of the building.\u00a0 It was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Next there was hand combat. They fought with each other really well. Good thing I didn&#8217;t fight with them:). They also fought with hand guns and rifles, and actually shot from them! It was cool. The paratroopers also laid down on uneven nails, shards of glass, got hit by a thing that burned, and stood on each other. I think it should hurt doing that, don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>Last there was war on water. The bad guys captured a Belarusian barge and patrolled it. But the Belarusians fought back. They destroyed two of their boats, disarmed 10, and took back the barge. It was cool (and scary!).<\/p>\n<p>That was the end. We also got to go on the tanks, BTRs, trucks, and everything that shot over there. I even got to wear a helmet and goggles!<\/p>\n<p>The last thing we did was take pictures with the soldiers. Vika and I both took pictures of each other next to soldiers. They were all dressed up differently and holding guns and rifles.<\/p>\n<p>It was a very impressive day. I hope we can go to the air show tomorrow!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2517 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6528-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6528-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6528-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6528.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6527-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6527-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6527-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6527-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6527.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6526-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6526-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6526-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6526.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6525-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6525-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6525-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6525-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6525.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6452-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6452-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6452-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.optimaltec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_6452.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today there was an air show.
