This morning we woke up to a really loud storm. Abe was scared but I wanted to go on the balcony. It really did look like this footage from last year. It was brilliant.

The Coolest Car in Chicago

St Clair (with a C and no E)

Day Trip 2

We went on a double decker again. This time we had to sit downstairs because Abe is a monkey boy. He was still a pain. We went to see Karin (who works with Dad) and her family. She had an actual forest in her garden and a hammok and a big dog called Oslo, we had burgers from the grill.

BRIDGE LIFT

We walk over this bridge to get to the super market. The other day it was up, the whole bridge where the cars go - just up in the air so a tall boat could get down the river.

BLIMP

A blimp flew really close to the balcony, it had a TV screen on one side.

This week we started school

We walk through the park to get there. I don't like school in Chicago. I can't believe I have to go every day. I like school in England more. Here - I have to eat their lunch and they don't even have real bread. It's rubbish, I have to learn Spanish and I can't even dress up when I want. We're only allowed to 'play' in the afternoons. I can hear Abe crying in the next room the whole time - he hates it more than me. I'm not going anymore.

He's Back.

We got Batman back. Dad says it was the power of advertising, 

but the lady who had him hadn't even seen our cool poster.

'NUFF SAID

After we had a cupcake we got the double decker home.

And some other Chicago Cohens lost their cat

we saw a really cool postman's truck

We went to look at a house in the woods. Dad said it would be an interesting house, but I was really bored and really hungry.

Dad's Belly

Dad

A real 'locomotive'

We took a double decker train to the suburbs. Abola Babola kept trying to jump down to the bottom deck, this upset Mum.

Daaaad, stop it. I'm trying to watch 'Phineas and Ferb'

My new plane

Digger

Batman & Robin in a helicopter

More wet play

Greco Roman

there was a huge storm with thunder and lightening which was very exciting to watch from so high up, it lasted a long time - so we 'played' inside

Only 14 days to go

there are posters of all the characters on all the bus stops.

Day Trip

If you sit at the front of the train in Chicago, you can see passed the driver through his windscreen. You get a brilliant view.

Our wiggly skyscraper

We live four floors from the top #78.

I'm a boy on a buoy
