Funny boy

This is Owen acting out his current favorite book from the library. We read this book several times a day. :)

Ocean

We love the ocean house. These pictures are from last time we went. We took some of my sister's friends, and we got to go to the Aquarium with my dad, who hasn't been in years. It was a fun trip.



Visiting the lighthouse a couple blocks from us. The oldest one on the west coast!


Eating spanakopita at the Greek festival... and yes, we taught Owen to say "spanakopita". Hilarious.

Trying not to get splashed at the Aquarium.

Telling Becca and her friend Kayla all about Dory and Nemo.

Making sea lion sounds.

Boardwalk.

Driving the train at Dennis the Menace park.


The roller slide... Owen loves this!

Deciding that sand doesn't taste very good after all....

Boots

Owen got these boots as a hand-me-down from my cousin Nico. He LOVES them. Some days, I can't get him to take them off. He does look pretty darn cute in them, though.

Playing

This is what Owen and I do every day.



Kind of blurry, but he loves to "throw ball doggy".

Hoping Maile doesn't run him over as she chases the ball.

Getting out of the car to come and tell Maile what not to do.

And of course we spend lots of time trying not to put various objects (including our clothing) into the pond. This is Owen with the two new fishies he picked out for the pond.

Love this sweet face.

Giant Bubble

Because we can, that's why.


Taping the sides together.
Owen loves to help.



Looking at daddy from the inside.

He gave us a bit more air and then scrambled in.


Owen discovers that he can do the splits easily on the slippery plastic.


Jumping!

So excited to be in here.


Looks kind of like ET.


So fun! Owen has been walking around for the last couple days saying "giant bubble!!!"

iFly

These pics are way late, but this is what we did for Matt's dad's 50th birthday last month - went indoor skydiving. The pics aren't great quality (it was too hard to take pictures through the scratched glass), but you can see what it was all about. It was expensive, but it was soooo fun!





And this is the cake that Matt and I made for his dad's 50th birthday. (It's Mount Kilimanjaro, in case you couldn't tell :).
