Air And Water Show

Side Note: I had to get a new phone yesterday and it was my first time taking pictures with it since I forgot the camera. Sorry there is some kind of crazy frame around the pictures. I have no idea how I did that, but I finally figured out tonight how to get rid of it!

Today, Jake and I went downtown while Daddy stayed at home studying. Poor Daddy! We met up with Jenny, Chris, and their friends Travis and Lauren. Travis and Lauren have a little boy named Jack that is just two weeks younger than Jake, but they didn't bring him...bummer. We all went out to lunch and then headed towards the lake to watch the air and water show, which is an annual event in Chicago. We decided to walk the 2.2 miles to the harbor. It was sooooo hot, but we made it!

I was a little nervous bringing Jake because I wasn't sure how he'd do with the noise. He did so good though! Us girls and Jake sat under a tree on a blanket and Jake got to play and crawl around. He was going towards the grass and even started grabbing at it. Then he wanted it in his mouth and I had to stop him there. This made him very mad and he continued with all his might to grab the grass.

Then I saw the ice cream man and grabbed a Popsicle! I gave Jake a tiny bite to see what he'd do. His little face got all scrunched up because it was so sold on his teeth. Jen has a picture of him eating it that I'll have to grab from her. Of course, he wanted more and more, but a few bites was enough!

Somehow, Jake fell asleep amongst the loud sounds of all the jets! Picture below. Suddenly, a jet flew by that was so close that it startled Jake and he gave my the frown and I knew it was over. I kept covering his ears and was just crying and holding on for dear life. Poor little guy! Luckily, that was the finale, so we left right after and then he was fine riding in his stroller the 2.2 miles back!

We had so much fun together! Tomorrow we'll just be lounging around the house since we had such an action packed day today! I'm exhausted!
