It was already dusk

It was already dusk when we were on our way back home after enjoying the football match. We all had great fun and cheered our teams. In our great excitement we forgot everything, and what folly we had made by not asking our parents for permission. The rule of our house was that children must be back home before dusk and sit at the reading table.

Are there any mistakes? Thanks

Thanks Optilang.

But I don't understand why put put another "had" after "We". Could you explain this:

We had all had great fun cheering and cheered our teams.

Another question: what is the difference between "mistake"and "folly"? When we make folly? Thanks

The great fun took place before you were on your way back home.

When we on our way back home we had a great time ..........

We were on our way back home. (Before going home) we had had a great time .......

mistake = error

folly = foolish or ridiculous act.
