This past weekend was the billionth annual Chicago Air and Water Show. According to Brian, who knows about these things, the CAWS is good, not great. Two years ago, we decided to skip out on the crowds of North avenue beach, where you can see the water show, and stick closer to our neighborhood and watch the water shower from the Belmont section of the lakefront. You still see all of the air show, so that's good enough for us.
This year, we thought it would be fun to invite some of the Caccamos down. Iryna has never been down to the lakefront, so it was a nice way to show her what her new city has to offer. Also, she really likes Tyler:
Tyler was not a big fan of the sonic booms some of the airplanes were making (probably not the most thought out portion of inviting the 8 month baby, but what can you do). Other than those few booms, he was, as usual, in excellent spirits.
Chloe and Swarley were happy to be out of the house for an afternoon. They were exhausted for the rest of the day. We only had to take them on a pee break before dinner!
It was a gorgeous day in Chicago, a nice change from most of the summer's weather, which has been hot, sticky and humid. I've found that after spending a week in the dry Nevada climate, despite the high temperatures, I much prefer it to the gross stickiness of Illinois. But, this week has been a nice change. It's been in the low 80s, with very little humidity. I can't wait for Chicago's fall, and I will make sure that Brian and I take advantage of (possibly) our last Chicago fall, the best season Illinois has to offer.
In parting, I leave you with an adorable picture of Brian and his nephew.
