Guy Fawkes night

Well the rain held off long enough for us to go outside and let off some crackers. The kids had a fantastic time and were literally squealing with delight.
We had two boxes and one was a Sparkler special which had long ones in it.

Some of the ones we let off were quite noisy and we were a bit worried about the horses across the road, but they didn't last long and the horses were freaking out more about the milk tanker anyway.

Next time we take photos like this we'll try changing the shutter speed and see how they look. I think they look pretty fantastic but it's neat fun trying different stuff with the camera. It's got heaps of settings that we haven't tried yet. As I type DH is reading the instruction manual for it. Yah DH!!

Unfortunately I got a nasty headache from smoke from the crackers and/or the kids screaming with joy. A couple of Panadol and a long hot shower helped and as soon as I post this (mere moments), I'm off to bed. : )
