Today was sunny, with clear blue skies. The family was in their car, driving down long roads. They'd been driving for a while, now.
April was driving, of course. Max sat beside her, a blindfold on. The longer they were going on, the more excited he was looking. After all, he knew what day it was, and knew that invitations had been sent out and all that.
May sat in the back, in her carseat.

May was fast asleep in her carseat, holding the juice box she was drinking in her hands.

Soon, the car came to a complete stop. April rolled up the windows, parked the car, and opened her door.
"Now, you stay in here for a few more minutes, until I come and get you." She told her son, closing the door again and opening the trunk. Soon they'd both feel the trunk door slam heavily, and then the passenger side doors both opened.
"Okay, come out... keep the blindfold on, though!"
He unbuckled, barely able to contain his excitement while sliding out of the car and standing next to it.

May was startled awake by the trunk, giving a yelp in surprise. "MOMMY!"

"What?" April asked, giving a small laugh, going in and undoing her daughter's carseat, and shushing her while she helped her out.

"I got scared..." She mumbled lowly, climbing out and into the street next to her mother.

April walked over to Max.
"You ready?" She asked.
"YES!" He was brimming, his heart pounding so loudly he could hear it. She lifted her hands up to his face, and them undid the blindfold, letting it drop.
He let his eyes adjust for a moment, and then looked, and gasped. They stood in a rather rural place- a cabin at the waterfront of a lake, with a firepit in front of them.
"Mom! Really?!" He cried, running foreward to examine everything. "This is the best thing EVER! I didn't know we still had this place!!"

"Where is this place, Mommy?" May asked.

"It's our family campground!" April told her. She finally called Max back, and made him take caboose as she lead them to the door, opening it up... to reveal the inside set up for a party.

May glew like a star then, "THANK YOU, MOMMY!" She said, running around the room.

April looked confused. Max was too happy about the fact that she'd somehow set this up to do anything about it. He sat down in one of the leather armchairs, leaning into it in ecstasy.
"What do you mean, Sweetie?" April asked with a laugh, sitting down in one of the other leather armchairs.

May ran up to her mother then, climbing into her lap. "Givin' me this party, silly!"

April stared at her for a moment, and then gave a hearty laugh.

"...What?" The little girl squeaked.

"Sweetie, this isn't your party! Your birthday isn't for a while!"

"...Then who's is it, Mommy?"

"It's your brother's," She replied. "It's his sixteenth birthday- which is a very, very special day."

"...Big brother has a birthday?" The little girl said, eyes wide in shock and looking like her whole world was flipped upside down.

April giggled.
"Yes, he does. Everyone does."

"But I've never seen him have a party before...."
