The Adventures of Henry & Aunt Catherine : Part 6

Saturday was my last day in town to hang with the little dude.  We of course started our morning even earlier than normal..at just after 6.  I am just going to assume the extra earlier awaking time meant he just wanted to optimize every last minute with me.  Henry crawled up to the top bunk and proceeded to jump on top of me to wake me up so that we could play.  I have been forgetting to let you all in on a little something something.  Henry got bunk beds a little over a month ago and since he got them he has been saying that only his daddy and Aunt Catherine are allowed to sleep on the top bunk.  Each night I was there he would ask if I could have a sleep over with him on his top bunk, and therefore each morning he would crawl up and wake me up.  (Really no need for an alarm clock with Henry as your roommate.)

This morning we played several rounds of Hi Ho Cherry Oh, he of course won again, and then we read his new books again.  Afterward we went downstairs for cereal bars and some cartoon watching.  We had to kinda get going this morning because we were going to take off at 8 and head down to Soldier Field. Scott and his running buddy Olivia, were running the Soldier Field 10 miler this morning, and we were scheduled to meet him at the finish.  (I was going to run with him renegade, but they were serious hard hitters about not letting anyone go rogue.)  We ended up getting there just in time to see him run under the tunnel into Soldier Field and then meet up with the two of them after the race.

Henry waiting patiently to see his dad run under the tunnel.  We were all a little worried we might have missed him due to the gong show that was parking at the stadium, but luckily we saw him run by.  The little dude was pretty pumped to see Scott run by.

 Hanging out inside of the stadium waiting for Scott and Olivia.  It was pretty cool you could just sit where ever you wanted.  The finish line was right at the center of the 50 yard line.

Scott & Olivia post race.  Looking great and feeling pretty good too! 

The Kalmus Family.  Someone was pretty pumped that his dad did so well and had such a cool medal.

And so with a fab finish at the race we headed back home so that I could pack up and get off to the airport. Little man didn't seem too keen with the idea of me leaving and even told me that "if you miss your plane that means you can spend another whole day with me." Sorry friend despite United's best efforts at hosing me on the way home I still had to go and get back to my family up on the mountain.  It was a blast hanging with you little dude and I look forward to many more adventures together.
