Owen's Guide to the Perfect Birthday

GO BOWLING!






Rock a pink bowling ball. Style hair with the hand dryer. Determine preference for duck pin over 10-pin. Take every opportunity to show you are now 5.

GO TO MCDONALDS!



Get fries instead of apples (remember, they don't call it a Happy Meal for nothing). Make friends on the giant play structure. Flash the "5" sign.

GO TO THE JOHN DEERE STORE!





Tour the equipment yard. Sit in buckets. Survey the tractors and combines. Go inside and receive birthday wishes and a free bag of Johnny Popper popcorn. Pick out a 9430 tractor with earth scrappers as a present.

GO BACK HOME!




Welcome Cee-Cee and Daddy home from work. Change into favorite black John Deere t-shirt. Don SpongeBob sunglasses and help cut the lawn.

EAT AND OPEN!




Shower and get comfy in PJ's. Eat shrimp, rice and corn for birthday dinner. Blow out 5 candle on Key Lime Pie "cake". Unwrap presents to find lots of fun gifts. Play with new fun gifts. Fall asleep on couch.


Wake up Mommy the next morning and ask if it's your birthday again.
