I totally wrote this on my iPhone! The family and I are at North Ave Beach, looking down at Navy Pier waiting for the fireworks. It's a little cloudy, and the wind is blowing toward us, so the conditions aren't ideal for fireworks photography. If I do get any decent shots, I'll post them online.

Edit: I'm so not writing this on my iPhone.. Unfortunately, the conditions for getting pictures of the fireworks could not have been worse. Instead of being launched over Navy Pier, where people could see them from all along the lake, the organizers launched them from further inland (the beach maybe? Grant Park?) and only a few could be seen above the buildings which blocked our view. Given that there were at least a few thousand people waiting with us on the north side, having the fireworks show so restricted was clearly unexpected. Not only was the show bad, but it started to rain toward the end of it, and we had quite a trek to get to our car.

My son enjoyed it though. It was his first fireworks show and he'd clap each time he saw one. I'll have to take him out for another fireworks show, but find a spot where he'll be able to see what's going on.
