A two hour drive...a one hour wait...and surprise, surprise...Owen was uncooperative for his eye exam. It wasn't even the whole exam, just one small part (the lines test) and he has to return for the same tests in a couple weeks. Every visit we have had to the Neuro-opthamologist has been excruciatingly long and normally turns out with Owen being deemed "uncooperative" after 3 out of the 5 tests he is administered. I felt uncooperative after that long wait. 
The day dramatically improved with a visit to the Academy of Natural Sciences. What a fantastic museum, great exhibits, perfect size and very quiet (as long as you can stay away from groups). Joey was in awe of the dinosaurs and Owen loved the turtles and fish. On our way back to the truck we stopped by the Logan Square Fountain. I am pretty sure it has a different name, but that's what I've always called it. I have such great memories of goofing around in this fountain with my friends and brother. It was pretty neat to "share" my favorite fountain with Joey. His word of the summer to describe the experience....awesome.
