Every year for the past 50, Chicago has held an air & water show on the lakefront. The main stage of the event is located directly east of us, less than a mile away. So every year at this time we get to have the Blue Angels zooming overhead, setting off all the car alarms on the street. The thundering of jets has sent Ruby scurrying for my leg to grab onto several times this week. Despite the anxiety of my kids, I love the air & water show weekend. I love feeling the jets speed by... and thinking about how much fuel they are burning. The brave/crazy/talented pilots have made my jaw drop a few times. They do some amazing maneuvers just over our rooftop.
I am glad it is only once a year, otherwise it wouldn't be such a treat.
