This post is LONG overdue, but in mid-September my sister Rachel planned another annual Metro Family Reunion at the K-State vs. Kent State football game at Bill Snyder Family Memorial Stadium. Owen has only attended one other K-State football game, and he loved it. He was....one, I think. A lot has happened since that game, so Gavin and I were a little apprehensive to attend. Owen didn't have his wheelchair at his last K-State game, so we sat in the handicapped section this time. I was a little bummed, thinking we wouldn't be able to sit with the rest of the family, but we were right above them, and we didn't feel isolated at all. Owen took a few cat naps throughout the day, but all in all, he had a great time. This was also Dex's first K-State football game. Let me sum up his experience for you: he didn't take a nap all day long, but he was sooooo into the entire experience that he didn't care one bit. He clapped, he yelled, he loved it. He loved it until the next morning when we had to remove his Powercat tattoo off of his face. SCAB. One huge SCAB on his cheek. The red mark--over a month later--is still plastered on his face. I guess we can just think of it as a souvenir from his very first Wildcat game.

It's very important to Gavin and I that Owen gets to experience everything a walking and talking 4-year-old gets to experience. And even though he can't express his excitement most of the time, I know it's just waiting to burst out of him one of these days!
