Owen

Out past the county line is a house with a boy’s vivid imagination taking over the yard. There are newspaper boats resting in mud puddles, a top-secret fort built high up in one of the trees, slingshots and guns made from sticks, and ropes hanging from the trees just perfect for swinging. This is where Owen lives. He lives here with his mom Nicole and dad Joseph. They bought this house eight years ago looking for a quiet get-away with a big yard and plenty of trees. This is the perfect place for Owen.
Owen is six years old and has the heart of a true explorer, spending most of his time outside with his chocolate lab Max. He doesn’t really play well with most of the other kids though. During recess he wouldn’t want to play soccer or race with everyone else. He wanted to go on deep sea adventures or defeat pirates on the playground. You can usually see Owen out in the yard whenever you drive by. Sometimes you have to look closely to see him, with his shaggy brown hair and rugged play clothes on, sitting up in the tree fort planning his next feat. Some nights at dinner Owen will continue his journeys at the table, telling stories to entertain his parents while they all eat.
Owen is always looking for a new adventure, and he knows that there is always something new around every corner. He gets excited about simple things like going to the grocery store and walking to school. Owen can find fun and exciting things in just about everything, he’s not afraid to let his imagination run wild. He knows how to have fun and enjoy life.
