Saturday night we attended a "post" Guy Fawkes Night party at James & Tracey Boyers home. James is French and Tracey is English so they celebrate both countries holidays at their house.
Remember remember the 5th of November! This was the date Guy Fawkes had a secret plan to overthrow the king of England. An old mercenary named Guy dropped 36 barrels of Gunpowder. His plot didn't work, but makes a good excuse for a late night November party. It's celebrated with bonfires, a burning effigy of Guy, fireworks and taffy apples.
The kids loved playing around the fire and the fireworks were outstanding. We love learning and living in a place where history comes alive!
