Owen Turned Nine Last Month

So, Owen patiently waited through a bunch of holiday stuff to celebrate his Ninth Birthday!  We eventually drove down to Boston to visit the New England Aquarium.  They had an awesome touch tank filled with rays and mini sharks.  It was amazing.

I know it only looks like there are three in the tank, but there were TONS.

This guy reminded us a lot of Uncle Jason.

Always popular: the penguins at feeding time.  One penguin pooped on the guy who looks like Uncle Jason.  Tee hee.

 The seals are cute too, but it's cold outside...

While the big kids watched an IMAX movie about sharks with Daddy, we went upstairs for a snack.

 This is how Zoey felt about Dylan offering her more food.

This is why I love Boston.  Mike's chocolate mousse cannolis.  So happy-making.

 Owen opening his birthday presents!  Lots of legos...

I'm so proud of my big boy!!!
