Last Sunday Ben had a gig at an outside arts festival in the afternoon so we brought Dexter along. He was so excited all morning about going to "Daddy's gig!". As we drove down the highway, Dexter pointed up in the sky and said, "Plane pulling garbage up there." Sure enough, it was a plane flying an advertisement. Dexy didn't have a clue how accurate he was! Once we got onto Lake Shore Drive, it became clear that it was Annual Air & Water Show - something Ben and I would never attend due to lack of interest in planes and drunken crowds. However, as we were driving, we got to see some pretty amazing stunts and for the rest of the day, Dexter couldn't stop telling people about the "red planes going fast with smoke." The festival was great - we got there early enough to share some pad thai and check out all the artists and craftspeople before Ben played. We met up with friends and Dexter got to see his pal, Ellery. Dexter danced and played with folks throughout Ben's whole set, occasionally yelling, "Hi Daddy!" between songs. Afterwards, a few of us went to James' for a bite to eat. Dexter was still going strong, despite no nap and some periodically revisited disappointment that we weren't going to see any more red planes. We forgot our camera but George got a really cute picture of Dexter in James' custom made cowboy hat.
