We had a memorable visit to the bay area Oswoods recently. Owen got a trip to the Oakland Zoo out of it. He loved all the animals of course, but was bummed there were no gorillas or hippos. Gloria the Hippo from Madagascar is his favorite! I'm kicking myself because I always try to remember the cute and funny things that happen or that he says, but by the time I get to this point, I've forgotten it. You'll just have to make due with the pics.
Hey Pat, I know you're reading this - he absolutely loves that barn you got him. We play with it every day and he says "Pat got this for me!"
Paw Prints! He loved this stamp and was talking about it all day.
Grandma, Owen and Mark checking out the Meerkats.
The had about eight or nine giraffes. Another favorite animal, even if his face doesn't look it.

Mark had to get into the act.
Back at the Oswood homestead. Daddy hiding from Owen. He is just getting the hide-and-seek concept. It helps that Mark wants to play it with him all the time. Now I know why we had a kid, so Mark could have a playmate.
Mariel, Dani, Mark, Owen and Grandma C opening birthday presents.
Owen and his friend Relay.
Relay, Owen and Mariel on the way to the airport. This was at the start of the ride, he was still happy. It takes about 40 minutes to get from Clayton to Oakland and as the ride went on Owen got quieter and quieter. I don't think he liked sitting back there by himself with mommy and daddy up front. He was eyeing the dog very suspiciously by the end.
Waiving to the people de-planing. He was in rare form and charming all the flight attendants.
