The first week of August we were able to go on our last long trip to northern Spain in Bilbao and Leon. Owen is no doubt getting more difficult to travel with because he wants to run around and climb on anything he can get near. The popular term is "active". The rest of the month was pretty much spent with the big move. We had the quick shipment on August 16 when we started our time staying in the Navy Lodge right next to the hospital. We didn't ship the car until the last week of August so it was nice to at least feel like we had some control of where and when we could go do things. Those last two weeks of August Owen got to go to his Young Explorers class at the CDC on base for 4 days per week. He absolutely loved going in there. They would play outside, paint stuff, sing, and in general be around other kids. My favorite part was that they also fed him. Hotel eating is a difficult task so at least he was getting one descent meal per day. Speech development was minimal because his whole Owen world was turned upside down, but he took the whole thing in stride pretty well. The flight back to Norfolk went as well as we could have guessed, but it was a very long day.
He enjoyed an entire Klondike bar.
These pictures are from Owen's Young Explorers class at the child Development Center on base in Rota. I will miss his class so much. Not only because of the price and that they feed him, but because how much he loved the teachers and activities.
Apparently the floor is much more comfortable than the bed.
