July 28th: National Waterpark Day, National Milk Chocolate Day, Buffalo Soldiers Day, National Day of the Cowboy and National Dance Day.

On July 28, laughter and fun are just a couple of the requirements on National Waterpark Day! Bathing suits are recommended too! Waterparks around the world provide thrilling, water plunging rides for those who seek the white-knuckle hydro powered slides. For those who prefer to relax and unwind, lazy rivers, wave pools and spas in tropical scenes satisfy these vacationers. In the United States, nearly every state has a waterpark. The Wisconsin Dells is the Waterpark Capital of the World. 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, there’s a splashable, relaxable experience for all.

Solid chocolate, when combined with either powdered, liquid or condensed milk, is known as milk chocolate. The most popular of all candy bars sold contain milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is also a popular ingredient in baking, specialty coffee drinks and hot chocolate. From the mid-17th century, milk was sometimes added to chocolate beverages, but in 1875 Daniel Peter invented milk chocolate by mixing a powdered milk developed by Henri Nestlé with the liquor.

Buffalo Soldiers Day commemorates the formation in 1866 of the first regular Army regiments comprising African-American soldiers. “Buffalo Soldiers” (one of many African-American regiments raised during the Civil War) were established by Congress as the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army. Mark Matthews, who is now buried at Arlington National Cemetery, was the oldest living Buffalo Soldier at 111 years old when he died on September 6, 2005. The segregated regiments were disbanded during the 1940s and 1950s as the U.S. armed forces embraced integration. On the first Buffalo Soldiers Day in 1992, a monument to the Buffalo Soldier was dedicated at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas by General Colin Powell. The Buffalo Soldier Museum is located in Houston, Texas.

The era of the cowboy began after the Civil War in the heart of Texas. Cattle were herded long before this time, but in Texas, they grew wild and unchecked. As the country expanded, the demand for beef in the northern territories and states increased. With nearly 5 million head of cattle, cowboys moved the herds on long drives to where the profits were. The draw of riches and adventure mixed with tales of violence and a backdrop of the Great Plains gave way to the mythological image of the cowboy. The life of a cowboy required a particular ability to live in a frontier world. To do so requires respect, loyalty and a willingness to work hard. In the words of the former President Bush, “We celebrate the Cowboy as a symbol of the grand history of the American West. The Cowboy’s love of the land and love of the country are examples for all Americans.” Enjoy a western novel or movie, attend a rodeo and embrace the cowboy way of life.

Dance Day was created as a day to raise awareness about and to encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and combat obesity. Dance Day achieved national recognition when in 2010, a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, American Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, introduced a National Dance Day resolution to promote dance education and physical fitness. National Dance Day was launched in 2010 by “So You Think You Can Dance” co-creator and Dizzy Feet Foundation co-president Nigel Lythgoe.

Some of those water slides I wouldn't mind trying, at least in my mine I want to, but my body says try it fat girl and suffer in pain afterwards. I love❤️ my chocolate.🍫 I saw an episode of High Chaparral that had a troop of Buffalo Soldiers on it. They put on a performance that was perfection. I could watch it over and over. Thank you for your service Buffalo Soldiers. May you all Rest In Peace. Cowboys of old have come along way to today cowboys. They no longer herd their cattle🐮 to market, their driven in trucks. The dancing is out, I have two left feet.😂

You know what kind of hugs are on their way, Chocolate🍫 hugs!💦🍫🐎🐮💕🌷💕
