My boy is 10 years old.
Ryan maximized his birthday. From early in the morning until a later-than-usual bedtime, the day was centered around him and things he likes to do. We began by participating in the Meridian School District-wide fun run. Last year he and I ran it together. This year he ran it to win and ditched his old man finishing in the top fifteen (of all students in the District).
We ran right out of the track and headed to his next event. Baseball. His love of the sport is growing, thanks to all of the encouragement support he is receiving from his family, and the success he is experiencing. His coach "gets him" and has really invested in his development. So naturally, that helps Lisa and I really enjoy baseball, too.
We ate lunch at one of his favorite restaurants and then headed to the bowling alley. After we all bowled ten frames, we came back to the house, where Rick set up a fun obstacle course in the park, with some of his P.E. gear, for the kids to run through in timed competition. This was requested by Ry, as he tends to enjoy competition in any form. 
We ate pizza and opened presents (many of which, were green). We ate cake and per Ryan's request, played games until way past his bedtime. A nice boy like this kid deserved all that attention.
Happy Birthday Ryan
