Grandma's Birthday

July 27th Allison's dad had a surprise 60th birthday party for her mom. It was a great party with many friends and family in attendance. Allison's brother and sister and cousins were there with their families, so Owen got some great play-time with his cousins and friends.

Grandpa arranged to borrow the neighbors barrel train to give rides with the tractor. As always it was a huge hit and we made many.... many... many laps around the lawn. #1 request from the boys was always to GO FASTER uncle Josh!!!



Here's Owen climbing in the Allis Chalmers barrel. He's usually obsessive about the green John Deere barrel... I guess this day was just an orange day.



Here Owen had brought a chair over by the pool to "watch" kreepy krauly clean the pool. He spent several minutes making sure kreepy was doing a good job cruising around in the deep end.

And here's a cute picture with his cousin. I forget if it had started to sprinkle or if they were just setting up the umbrella between them. Either way, there was an awful lot of giggling going on... :)
