Jonathan was our official lighter. I don't want any kids with blown off fingers. It was difficult to keep Alyssa away because she was so fascinated.
The one directly above rotated on a plank and was my favorite.
While Jonathan was getting the fireworks ready, the kids kept themselves occupied with the sparklers. Alyssa was afraid to touch it at first, but she eventually warmed up to the idea and has as much fun with them as Kobe and Devon.
Kobe and Devon were pretending that they were wands and yelling spells from Harry Potter at each other.
It was a fun first Guy Fawkes Night for us. We've never lived in a place where fireworks were allowed so I was a little nervous (very nervous--I'm a worrier). All appendages are still in tact, and for that, I am grateful! Hopefully next year we'll make it to one of the big displays.

Living in a new country brings all kinds of holidays - enjoy!! We loved Dawali (Indian holiday near Christmas - festival of lights)and they had fantastic fireworks like we had never seen before being set off on the driveway. Before we had only seen these at 4th of July professional fireworks displays.
That looks like so much fun! That's one of the things I loved about living in Utah, being able to do the fireworks right in our own front yard!
Sandy--It has been fun to experience different holidays.
Erin--It was fun to do it at home. I was a little nervous though. You know me--always a worrier. :)
