Describe a fireworks display or light show that you watched

I'd like to describe a fireworks display that I watched last year, on the evening of the national day celebrations. I went with two friends, Timur and Aigerim, and we decided to watch it from a hill near the city centre, because we'd heard that you could see the whole sky from there.

We arrived about an hour before it began, and there were already hundreds of families sitting on blankets, eating snacks and waiting. The air was cool, and there was a lovely, relaxed mood. At exactly nine o'clock, the first rocket shot into the sky with a loud bang, and then the whole city seemed to light up. There were golden showers, red circles and blue flowers that opened and slowly faded. Some of the displays were even shaped like hearts or stars. At one point, music was played through loudspeakers, and the fireworks moved in time with it, which looked amazing. The whole show lasted about twenty minutes, but it felt much shorter.

While I was watching, I felt completely amazed and a bit like a child again. I stopped thinking about work and everything else, and just gazed up with my mouth open. I noticed that everyone around me was doing the same: people were silent, and then they all gasped or clapped at the same moment.

It reminded me that simple pleasures are often the best ones. We walked home slowly afterwards, talking about the colours and the sound, and I felt relaxed and happy.
