Obama Mama

If you haven't heard the news, Obama came to town yesterday, and since I have never been to anything like this, I decided to take Owen and check it out! It was CRAZY!!!!! Between trying to find parking, to securing your place in the 5+ mile line of people trying to get in to the Magnus Center at DU (University of Denver), with helicopters circling overhead (this kept Owen busy for quite awhile--"copter"!), we had a blast! It was about 39 degrees to stand and wait, but I was armed with snacks and we had good company, Perry and Simon, to wait with. Below is our experience in pictures: Owen saying "I"ve had enough of the cold, the wait, and want to go home!"
We finally made it inside (albeit in the "overflow" space...aka watch it on the "big screen")
To our surprise, guess who decided to make a guest appearance to the overflow crowd! (And yes, we were this close...zoom lens was not in effect!)
" Hello Mr., Senator, perhaps-soon-to-be-President Obama."
And this is Owen through the whole "let's meet the man of the hour" escapde. :) The screaming cheers didn't phase this poor, tired soul. Guess political science isn't in his future!
Perry and Simon, flush with excitement after seeing Obama!Owen awakes, and Simon tries to explain to Owen what he missed, "He came from over there...he was right here!"

Best buds!

Everytime the room errupted with applause, Owen stopped and started clapping. Of course, he thought it was all for him!

Afterwards, he goes back to doing what he does best..."Vrrrrm! Beep, beep!" Election? What election?
