note from dad  because Jake did not like the noise we went on top of the hill to allow us to see a display without the loud noise ,

 we had some hot chocolate and some snacks

 my dad had taught me to keep warm by dropping height and useing the heather to keep out of the wind so i became warm

I am keeping my eyes shut for the flash !

the fireworks were great ,
this is just a small part of the them ,
i hope one day to be able to watch them close up !
