Bonfire Night 2016

It was quite a disaster really. By the end we had sworn wouldn't take the boys to another until they are at least 10. We went to Buxton Cricket Ground and to be fair it started off really well. We had walked and Jake had fallen asleep in the pram and Noah was all excited. We found some where to watch and Adam went to go and que for some burgers. Noah was happy rolling down the hill and Jake still asleep. Quite a lot of people had gathered by the time Adam came back but this fine. The bonfire was lit and in turns we took Noah over to see it - Jake was still asleep. I decided it may be better to wake him up before all it started, so I did and he seemed relatively happy. That was until it all began (which was already delayed by 30 mins due to the long que of people wanting to come in). When the show eventually began, Jake was screaming and there was no way of consoling him so Adam tried to take the pram out but due to the sheer volume of people couldn't get past. We spent the entire firework display trying to comfort him but nothing worked. In the end we took Noah's ear defenders off him (bit mean but we were desperate) and this worked although now Noah was screaming!! We were desperate to leave the place but couldn't because of all the people and all the people walking into the pram etc. By the time we got home, fed-up didn't even come into it !!
