Bonfire Night was BRILLIANT! Here's why...
Spending the weekend in charming Scarborough as a family and with wonderful friends.
Walking along the coast eating iced buns as dusk began to settle in.
Getting a warm meal in a restaurant while the men watched the football on the big screen.Wrapping up for the cold and the dark, and getting all excited.
Going to the pitch black beach, lit up with oranges, reds and yellows from the giant bonfires, and hundreds of beautiful fireworks lighting up the night sky.Walking along the beach in our wellies.
Huge bonfires all along the beach. Getting warm and laughing.
Fireworks being set off next to where the water was lapping in and out.
The smell of gun powder.
Oscar running around with a huge smile taking in the whole experiance.
Sharing fudges out of my coat pocket.
Dancing with sparklers.Barney's big eyes looking at all the light and colour.
Our clothes and hair starting to smell like bonfire smoke.
The smell of candy floss and cheeseburgers from the shops next to the coast.
Cuddles with a giddy Oscar.Enjoying fresh warm donuts while sat on a bench having a rest.
Having family and friend photos in front of the bonfires.
Barney getting tired and falling asleep having a cuddle with daddy.
Playing games in the arcade late at night.Having hot chocolate back at the hotel, made with the kettle in our room.
Bathing Oscar and Barney to get rid of the smokey smell.
Bedtime cuddles and talking about all the great things about that night.
Sleeping in the hotel! (Oscar: "Oh my bed is just so BEAUTIFUL!")
Breakfast buffet. Oscar picked a croissant, mini muffin, crumpet, raisins, fruit salad and juice.
Barney stole a hotel spoon by throwing it in Naomi's bag (only found a few days later).
Smelling the fresh seaside air in the morning as we leave the hotel.
Finding the lighthouse.
The long drive home with a lilac and pink sunset changing to dark while our 2 best boys sleep in the back.
A summary list doesn't do it justice, but what wonderful memories we have :)
