It was a very rainy day today and we needed to be outside. Owen wanted to find a river on the side of the road to float leaf boats down. Nothing was fast enough so we made our own river. Using kayak racks, the hose and daddy's fishing kit we made our own rushing river. Little engineer.
Owen must have grown again. He is now tall enough to get up on the counter without me around. I found him taking one little nibble from each of my tarts.
For all of you that have had the pleasure of talking to Owen on the phone, this is what he looks like from our end. Laid back!
We lured Owen to Sea Cavalcade with a promise of pony rides. As soon as we walked into the fair he looked around and said "there is supposed to be ponies here!" Luckily there were so we waited in line for 30 minutes with Grampa Geo. Owen did so well on the pony, even going sans hands for a bit.
of biking and sightseeing. The Gondola ride was a huge hit with Owen.
in the beautiful sun. Owen wants us to buy another kayak, maybe we will have to submit. 
We had some company come over for a visit this summer. They only stayed one day, I don't think they liked my cooking.
Owen likes his birds and is now seeing more than daddy. Last week he saw a Great Horned Owl, daddy is VERY jealous.
Although it was very cold, we did spend quite a bit of time at the beach. I think we need a beach of our own.
