A great birthday for a five year old

My small son turned five yesterday and, I must say, had a great birthday. He spent the weekend swimming with his cousins in his grandparent's pool. A carnival was in town and it was ride all you want for one price. He rode the small train, the big trucks, motorcycles that did wheelies and jumped, and airplanes that soared in circles. Cake and presents topped off that night. On his real birthday, he received roller skates and went skating. His grandparents arrived again, this time in a red convertible. They took him for a ride that he loved so much, sweet boy, he fell asleep. In the evening we had a barbecue and finished the night with a bonfire. The kids roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. They hunted for lightening bugs with the neighbors and ended the day with a story by the fire. It's good to be five.
