Guy Fawkes Day

So they celebrate Guy Fawkes Day, the celebration of a failed assassination attempt on the King of England 412 years ago, by having fireworks. The city allows for the sale of them for four days, and man did the city love it! For DAYS AND DAYS we heard individual fireworks popping off every 20 or so minutes! One night I was up past 2am because people were out shooting them off randomly! So when we found out it was a holiday and would over soon I was so relieved and we went out to the pier to see the culmination of the celebration….the professional show. There were SO MANY people!!! They walked miles to see the show! Luckily we knew to head in early and got a great spot and set up and played UNO and Erik and Tyler wandered the dunes, found a park and played and made it back in time for snacks and the small time fireworks to happen up and down the beach! 

Our Neighbors let Tyler have a sparkler, which he has been deathly afraid of but he wanted to be friendly so he was brave and then loved it!

Still couldn't handle the sound. These were the small fireworks people had brought with them.
