We celebrated Owen's fourth birthday among a lot of his friends in the heat of summer with a lot of fun play, a bug show and a bug hunt, picnic lunch and ince cream cake. Owen had a wonderful time and told us his favorite part was "Everything!" and then told us the stick bug was his favorite. Started just letting all the kids play outside, then we had a bug lady come and let the kids explore several amazing bugs. Owen was in heaven and held everything and even got very close to trying to touch the scorpion. I will say I was proud he knew what everything was, but not surprised. It was funny to see some of the nonbug kids bail and go play, which was fine by me. You will notice in the pictures the crowd gets smaller. But then everyone had fun searching for bugs hidden in the yard. As always with these games, Owen was a boy on a mission and found a lot. Then we enjoyed pizza and ice cream cake. Then as people started to leave Owen took it upon himself with the help of Addie to start opening his gifts. He'd take one at a time inside and open. He was so excited to get everything and has enjoyed playing with all of them. Later in the day Owen opened his gifts from his family and then the big surprise his new room decorated. He's known about the room stickers for about two weeks now and that morning he told me, "I really hope my stickers come soon because it's my birthday." He was so excited to see them and put them up. I am happy to report Owen celebrated hard and was celebrated on his birthday.
Bug Show
Boys Riding Bike: Owen was trying but kept pedaling forward and then back which made it brake. He was tired and got frustrated and sad.
