I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend here in Orlando! I went to Orlando’s Lake Eola park and saw the fireworks there. I also wanted to see how the lake Eola fountain looks now and the show it put on.
As most know, the Orlando lake Eola water fountain was struck by lighting a long time ago and got knocked out. After lots of decisions from the city a private contractor was hired to fix it.
It was fixed just in time for the 4th of July and made it’s big debut that night. I must say they did a good job. It has many different lights that change colors as well as several different water jets.

The result is a cool, glowing water fountain that is very pretty and colorful. The water jets are nice, with smaller ones around the base and the main middle one that shoots a long stream in the air.
I’m still not thrilled about the glowing green base, it just seems so old to see that green color all the time. But overall it looks great and it’s nice to see it working again.

The fireworks were nice also, even if it did rain a bit and flood some of the sidewalks. It was a great time at Orlando’s Lake Eola and all in all the fourth of July show was a success.
So I hope you took in one of the 4th of July fireworks shows around the Orlando area and theme parks. Now it’s time to get back to work, but at least it’s a short week!
