He received exciting gifts such as bubbles, an extremely goofy visor, swimming goggles, parachute guys like he used to love to get from the dentist, Jones sodas and other various snacks, and other miscellanous goodies. He was delighted with all of it. His real gift is a computer video card coming from his favorite on-line computer store, Tiger Direct. 
He got to float the river in inner tubes with his friends (while wearing the new goofy visor, bring smiles to the faces of observers), jump off the bridge into the freezing waters of the Metolius, go to the rockpit and do some target shooting with his dad and the other guys, play cards, wrestle, and drive home around all the downhill curves, laughing as his mom kept slamming her right foot on the floorboard. He did a good job of driving; mom just needs to relax.

He did a good job of driving; mom just needs to relax. The really sad part is that he had to leave his beloved Metolius to come back and put in a few days of work before he leaves for a youth mission trip to New Orleans in a couple of days. Eric helped relieve his sadness by calling him on the way home and inviting him to go out to a late movie for his birthday. Eric got off work at 10:00 and came here to pick him up. Shall I wait up for them? Not much longer.
A lot of things change when a boy turns 16. It's hard to believe my baby is that old!
