Owen's Birthday

For Owen's birthday the original plan was to take him to the children's museum in Boston as Steve and I both had the day off. Steve wanted to check out the Patriots practice though and it didn't start til 9:30. There is a lot to do over there so we decided to make a day of it. No pictures from practice, but after a little while Owen and I walked down to Bass Pro Shops so Steve could watch the practice in peace. Steve met us down there after.

Owen really loved all the fake animals. This moose was in a pond full of trout. Owen kept trying to walk into it saying "yeah, yeah". It was hard getting a picture as he only wanted to look at the pond. He liked the fish tank too.

They just opened a trail behind the store. We went for a quick walk. There is a pond full of turtles and frogs and then a few cranberry bogs.

We went to lunch afterwards and it was hard finding a place to eat. Red Robin was closed because something was broken. CBS Scene had a 45 minute wait. Qdoba and Five Guys had huge lines. We went to Bar Louie and there was no wait, and they even had high chairs and a kids menu. A few Patriots players were even having lunch there. Owen liked his grilled cheese. We've had some tickets to the Hall of Fame from Steve's dad so we checked it out. Owen slept through it all. He did sort of check out Brady's locker and get in the huddle with Steve.

We opened his birthday present, a toy garage that makes all sorts of noise. He's starting to figure out how to open presents, though he needs to work on not climbing on top of them.

He got to have some birthday cake again too. I made sure the icing was gooier this time. He didn't eat much, mostly smeared it everywhere. We forgot about the cake and had given him a bath after we got home from Patriot Place, so he ended up getting two baths in about an hour.
