\"birthday<\/a><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 One of your earliest memories is of the pool party birthday when you turned five. Granted, it was only a kiddie pool with six inches of water in the side yard. But it was great fun. And as the photographs of the event show, you look pretty good in your swimsuit.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s never any homework to finish before the party begins.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 In the same vein, parties never have to break up early because there’s school tomorrow.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes, your birthday coincides with your vacation, and you get to celebrate in far away places like Alaska, Idaho, Washington state, or your aunt and uncle’s farm in southwest Minnesota.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 Even though you live in a four season state like Iowa, birthday meals can be eaten outside.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s no need for fancy decorations on a cake when everywhere you look, God has decorated July with flowers.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 Fresh-picked sweet corn is on the birthday meal menu.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 Because July is smack dab in the middle of peach season, your birthday cake can be fresh peach pie.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 You can use the coffee house gift card at your favorite coffee shop to order not just coffee, but iced coffee…and then sit at a table outside to enjoy it.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Your sweetheart can ride a motorcycle to the store to purchase the most hilarious Modern Family gift bag ever in which to place the coffee house gift card he bought. Then he can hide both bag and card under his shirt to sneak it through the kitchen where you are cooking sweet corn for supper. That’s a Phil Dunphy moment if there ever was one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
