Owen's Big Adventure

We (Sara & Owen) were blessed with the opportunity to visit California last week to celebrate my brother, Jeff, and Amanda's upcoming wedding in July. Owen decided that he really enjoyed flying (probably because we sat in the very back of the airplane near the gigantic humming engines). Owen did great on both flights, thanks to a lot of prayer! At the end of his first flight, the flight crew invited us into the cockpit to commemorate the big day with a photo.The week was filled with a couple of firsts...

It wasn't quite warm enough to play in the water, but it was fun to visit the ocean with Owen...there are so many places that I have been blessed to see and experience and I want him to enjoy and experience them as well. The wind was pretty chilly but the Baby Bjorn helped keep him warm at the beach.
Amanda's family lives on a lake and we had the opportunity to ride on thier boat to a restaurant on the lake for dinner. Owen enjoyed his first boat ride, he slept! As you can see, Owen has a little growing room in his life jacket (I thought he looked like he was wearing a koozie as an outfit).

I'm so glad to see the photos of your trip! Taking a baby on an airplane is quite the feat - you should be proud of yourself! Miss you, friend! : )
