Grandma Jackie is here and Grandpa Vic is coming tomorrow. Grandma Jackie doesn't let us take any pictures of her and she doesn't want to be on the blog.

We went for a walk along the lakeshore, and we could see real fish in the water. Abe didn't jump in - phew.

The other morning we came down in the lift to go to school and there were loads of firemen in the lobby. There wasn't a fire though, they were just checking the building's layout.

and Dad bought us some really cool biscuits from a bakery called 'Dinkles', hahaha, 'Dinkles'.

It was Dad's birthday, so we got cake.

we've been doing a lot of wresteling.

The other weekend with the 'heat index', which accounts for the humidity, it was over 100 degrees. That's quite hot.

Mum made a salad for her lunch that she was really proud of - so it has to go on the blog.

We found a crazy caterpillar in the garden, that was made out of hair, it had an orange head like mine.

July 4th.

They have real Robots there that made me a 'Gravitron' - this cool spinning top thing and I watched them do it through the galss.

Grandma and Grandpa took me to the science museum in Chicago. It's called 'the museum of science and industry'. It's AMAZING. This really is the fastest car in the world, it's NOT a model it's the actual car.

The cops in Chicago have Segues with fat tyres.

Grandma is checking Abe is not really a monkey

Abe will ONLY go in the water with Mum - no one else.
