He ate breakfast in bed.
And he had a Phineas and Ferb (his favorite Disney cartoon) party with some of his friends. I say "some of them" because Benjamin has far more friends than would fit comfortably in my backyard. So we tried to limit it to about a dozen boys.
Here's Benjamin sitting under a tree, contemplating what he is going to do with the next year, while waiting for the party to start.
We played a variety of Phineas and Ferb-related games. One of them was crazy bowling, where you have to bowl a certain way each time, like backwards or with your eyes closed. This was balancing on one foot.
We also played "Where's Perry," which is like hide the thimble, except Wayne hid a little cardboard Perry the Playtpus instead. Perry is Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus.
We played Pin the Tail on Perry, which would have worked better if some of the kids hadn't kept taking off the blindfold.
We also had a guitar pinata and cake and treats.
I'm guessing that Benjamin might say it was his best day ever! And yes, everything IS better with Perry.
