We saw that same fireworks display here across the lake and you're right - it was outstanding. Non-stop professional-quality fireworks for 20 minutes or more. Someone spent some real $$$ to put that one on!

We saw a good portion of them from the top of Alton Mountain coming back from the bay. The grand kids saw them first and made me pull over and we all watched for a good 10 minutes. It was mostly just the tops of them, but still great to see.

While on the new boat watching the fireworks, I decided to video a portion of the finale with my Droid (new toy #2

).

Here is the link to youtube:

What always amazes me is the reverberation off the hills around the bay.

Speakers up, and enjoy the show.

My sister and I took "NO Problem" down to see the fireworks. I was surprised at the lack of boats in the bay. I think they were great and the gold ones that sort of mushroomed as they exploded was nice.. I also took my father down during the day for him to watch the parade, while it was short, no bands it was okay. Dad liked the old vechicles. Seems hard to believe that the summer is almost over.
