The Klinge’s came to Chicago to celebrate Miles’ 2nd Birthday!!
Before the birthday festivities began, we took a look at Lake Michigan and the big fountain early Sunday afternoon.
Then after lunch and Miles’ nap, he ripped into his gifts! Making a mess AND presents – his day really couldn’t have gotten much better!
WOW…. He got a lot of great stuff! Books, rug-size version of Candyland, magnetic doodle desk, matchbox cars, silly string, shopping money, finger paints, a guitar and more!
The festivities ended that night after dinner with a tractor cake and ice cream. This was a tragic creation, but it fooled the 2 year old. I’m sure he’ll make fun of me someday……..

Miles’ ACTUAL birthday was the next day, Monday, October 25th. Grandma, Grandpa, and Josh had to head back to Iowa that morning.
So… We convinced Nate to take a half day off from work. After Miles’ nap, we took trains and buses to visit dad’s office, pick him up, and head to Shedd Aquarium.
We walked along the lake towards the park while Miles had a snack…
Miles ran his little heart out at Millennium Park!
Nate and Miles messed around near the mirrored orb thing (sorry, no pictures) and then Miles RAN all over the fountain space. The fountain space has two large towers with images on them. Miles ran back and forth between them for more than 40 minutes! In the summer months, the towers actually spew water out on its patrons! We’ll have to visit this park again sometime.
He did run without the stroller too… by the way! It was difficult to get him to leave the park, but we knew that he was getting tired and that we had public transit to ride!
Needless to say, Miles slept VERY well that night!
Happy Birthday, Miles!
