Bonfire night.

On Saturday we all went down to

mum and dads and had dinner and fireworks.

For those of you who dont know why the
5th of November is Guy Fawkes day:

 Remember, remember! The fifth of November,

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!  

Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive,

To blow the King and Parliament All up alive.

Threescore barrels, laid below,

To prove old England's overthrow.  

But, by God's providence, him they catch,

With a dark lantern, lighting a match!  

A stick and a stake For King James's sake!

If you won't give me one, I'll take two,

The better for me,  And the worse for you.

A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, A penn'orth of cheese to choke him, A pint of beer to wash it down, And a jolly good fire to burn him. Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring! Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!

Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray! English Folk Verse (c.1870)

Sorry the pictures are fuzzy. My phone is hard to take at night with movement. 

Katie covered her ears as they kept going pop as she said. :) 

Watching fireworks go off. 

Katie watching. 

She seemed to enjoy it even with covering her ears. 

Kenneth helping out.
