The Biggest One Yet

 We took the boys to see the fireworks last night at Olcott Beach.  It was a beautiful night on Lake Ontario -- we sat near the lighthouse and enjoyed a lovely sunset over Toronto in the distance.

Before the fireworks, people were sending up these sky lanterns, which looked like miniature hot air balloons.  (They were pretty cool, but didn't seem like the best idea from a fire safety perspective!)

We hadn't gone to fireworks shows in previous years because it seemed too far past the boys' bedtime, but this year, their bedtime had already crept back from around 8:30 to closer to 9:30 (since camp started an hour later than school).  So, they had no problem being awake for the show.  They were a very appreciative audience -- they kept exclaiming, "Wow!" and "That's the biggest one yet!"  (And Matthew: "Is this the grand finale?")
