We attended the unofficial fireworks of the Bowmanville/Ravenswood/Lincoln Square area at Winnemac Park.  Apparently, this happens every year, and this was the first time our family had a chance to check it out.  I'm not sure how to describe the scene.  Words like "chaotic," "exhilarating" and "crazy" come to mind.  There were explosions in the sky all around us, and we never knew what to expect and when.  It was a humid yet cool night, and the smoke mixed with the wet air to wrap us all in a thick orange haze that created surreal images.   It was not for the faint of heart, and if Rudden (pictured above) hadn't been there, Cadence probably would've assumed the fetal position and begged to stay in the car.

And here they are waving their flags at the exploding sky together while Ted looks on.  It was quite the night, indeed...
