We were treated to some awesome fireworks!!! We thought they were even better than the ones we've seen in the city--AND it was a private showing just for us and the woodland creatures.

Anyone who didn't look after their belongings had to sing before they had them returned. We learned many new variations on how to Sing "I'm a Little Teapot" before we left for home.
