Super Hero!

All of the 2nd grade students at Owen's school just finished a unit studying super heroes.  They talked about real life heroes and what makes a hero.  To culminate the unit, each child got to become their own superhero.  Owen chose to base his off of one of his favorite animals, the pergrine falcon.  Falcon Man's motto:  "It is better to attack from the sky than from the ground."  He can speak all animal languages, can dive at over 200 mph and rescues endangered animals.  They had a parade at school yesterday and today our whole family participated in the "Super Hero 5K"

Flapping his wings- he designed and made the mask, talons, logo and the inside feathers of his wings- it was a fun project!

With his buddy, "Pet Man"

Pinterest is a wonderful, evil thing- grateful for the idea but much more involved than I planned!

Lots of 2nd graders showed up for the race

Our whole family participated in the race- Owen and Erik completed the 5K in 40 minutes.

Pirate Parrot was there to cheer everybody on!

Great job, Owen!!
