Fireworks

Monday was Canberra's 96th birthday and we heard there were going to be fireworks over the lake. We found the perfect spot right across the lake from where they were being launched and we had the whole grass area to ourselves. We got there a little early because we had no idea when they were actually going to start. We had popcorn, took pictures and read a story while we waited.

The fireworks finally started (I was trying out this "fireworks" setting on our camera. I know this isn't actually what they look like but I think its kind of cool):


I love this picture (above) because it reminds me of artwork we did at carnivals when I was in elementary school. You know where you drip paint onto a spinning piece of cardboard?



It was a fun night. Jonas is still talking about it. Some people from church came over last night (Thursday) and the first thing he did was tell them about seeing fireworks as if we just got home from seeing them.
