This was our 2nd year going to the Chicago Air & Water Show. Thankfully we got almost the same spot as the last time, under the only shady tree in Chicago. Again it was super hot that day but we got there early in the morning and snagged a spot under the shade and on the cool sand of the beach so it was really quite nice.
This time was different from the last in 2 ways. One was because Aiden was physically reacting differently, initially. I think he was a little bit nervous about going and his stomach was hurting when we got there. Why he may have been slightly nervous this time around? I have no idea, but I do think I know why his tummy was hurting, allergies! It’s something I’ve begun to notice with Aiden over this summer. When the days are super hot he tends to start sneezing and sometimes gets a runny nose and now, to add to the list, a stomachache. Once I gave him the handy Zyrtec that I had packed he was fine for the rest of the day.
The 2nd new thing was that we decided to leave the beach a little early and take a ride on the double decker bus, which Aiden calls the “London bus” because he had seen it in a London movie before. That actually made the air show even better! Now we were directly below the jets and it was really an awesome view! Aiden really enjoyed it and we all did as well too.
