Randall was excited about the move, about the air travel, about hotels, about the place we moved into, as usual. The city gave us a nice surprise the second day after we arrived as we ran into Chicago’s 60th Air and Water Show. The airplanes went loop-de-loop left and dipsy-doodle right over the lake, performing amazing stunts. An F-35 fighter jet roared soared through the sky right above the crowd. Spectacular as it might be for adults, its loud noise turned out to be a little scary for some little ones, like Randall.

Every morning Randall puts a new number on his calendar and adds a tag on those special days. June 2nd is the day he and daddy join mommy for the San Francisco trip; 21st is the start of Summer; and 25th is Penguin’s birthday, according to himself.
