Owen is 11

 Owen celebrated his 11th birthday at the end of March.  On his actual birthday, we ordered pizza and let him pick out an ice cream cake from DQ.  We later celebrated at Granny Buie's with family (and cake #2) and again in Delaware with the Sanders bunch (and cake #3).  Here are some facts about Owen at age 11:

• He is a pretty funny kid and is always looking for a joke.
• He loves playing video games.
• He is a good student and likes school- especially math.
• He likes to be helpful and has started helping his dad with tasks around the house.
• He likes the newer "pop" music and always makes me go back to his favorite songs when I pass by them on the radio.
• He has an adventurous spirit and is always up for trying new things.
• He is my big eater- the days of the kid's menu are near an end.

In addition to celebrating Own's birthday at our house, we also let him pick an activity that we could all do as a celebration.  He wanted to do an escape room.  He had done one before with some of his friends, but this was a first for the rest of us.  We did the Pirate Cove Plunder room at Escape Quest, and do you know we got out.  It was really a lot of fun.  We all enjoyed it and will probably do another one in the future.
