Second time around shooting fireworks

For the second time, went out to shoot fireworks in London.... This time with my family. The early arrival gave a good spot to shoot from and more than the fireworks, what got me more interested was kids playing with fire sparkles.  By this time, the sun had completely set and some kids walked up to the water front and started to have fun. I already had my camera on a tripod  and simply aimed at them and took few shots.

As for the fireworks, the set up and everything else was the same as the last time. Please find that information in the article I wrote last time - http://akilamikephotography.blogspot.ca/2013/05/what-things-to-tackle-when.html

But, I did end up making one mistake... I simply had the wrong lens on the camera for the job. The 24-105 on a crop sensor body was not wide enough capture everything in the scene. So, had to change lenses in the dark halfway through... but missed the best parts by doing so. A lesson learned nonetheless.

Here are some of the results - 

Would love to hear your thoughts on this...or your similar experiences.
