Tonight we had a bonfire night and a ton of fire works for a ward activity. Mardy asked people at school why people have been lighting off fire works all week and they told him it was because they were celebrating Guy Fawkes getting burned at the stake. Apparently he was trying to overthrow the King and this is the day they celebrate his capture. Anyway so they were lighting them on the lawn behind the church and everyone was watching from a few feet away in the parking lot. Well you can probably guess where this story is going. The first firework to go astray went straight into the crowd of people. I was near the door because I was helping get the food ready at the same time but Mardy and Raven were in the back of the crowd. Well one of the fire works went right up in the middle of the crowd of people and Mardy and others had to run from it. Raven got a bit scared so we went inside and watched it from the entrance of the church with the other small crying children. So you'd think that perhaps they would have stopped after that first misadventure but no, 3 more went flying into the crowd. Haha, I can hear people lighting them off right now. You can hear them from just after it gets dark till your sleeping in your bed.
