Day 128 05/11/2011 Fireworks Day

We forgot that it was fireworks day until it got dark and the sounds of the fireworks started coming in. We still managed to get out and across town to the big display in Forest Fields. We were not sure if Michael would like it, he sometimes gets quite upset by sudden noises but we thought it was worth a try. If he got upset we would just go home. Here is Michael trying out the papoose. Getting ready for his first long journey in it.




So after a frustrating time stuck in traffic trying to get near the place we finally arrived and walked through the crowd at the fun fair section and after buying some very nice hot chestnuts we stood in the crowd looking at the bonfire and waiting for the display. Despite the very loud music and the pushing crowds Michael had fallen deeply asleep. When the first big bang of the display started Michael woke with a jump but he didn't cry and was soon fascinated with the noises and lights.




We went for chip on the way home and tried to get Michael to do his trick
