This is a true story about a guy named Guy.
On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament and kill the king.
Fortunately, he was discovered in the basement with dynamite before he was able to harm anyone. (Unfortunately for him, he was tortured and killed for his actions.)
Now, November 5 in the UK is known as "Guy Fawkes Day" or "Fireworks Day."
They celebrate by watching fireworks and having a HUGE bonfire (they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes).
I say...any reason to party is a good one. Guy Fawkes Day in Cali next year anyone?
Talmage LOVES fireworks. He seriously didn't move a muscle for the whole 20 minute show!
The fireworks show was beyond incredible!
Daddy and Talmage.
In England, cotton candy is called candy floss.
Talmage doesn't care what it's called, he LOVES it!
As promised, after fireworks there was a huge bonfire.
I mean a seriously HUGE bonfire!Ever wondered where the word "guy" came from? Good old Guy Fawkes! In the early Guy Fawkes celebrations, "guy" meant a man of odd appearance. Eventually it became a simple reference for any man.
