Birthday Boy

Hayden turns 9 years old tomorrow! We'll be at work Lagoon day, so we celebrated with the family today.
He is not a big cake eater, so he ordered an apple pie. He's been asking for apple pie for months, but none of the rest of us are big fans. I told him he could have it for his birthday though, and he's been counting the days! Grandpa Korth made him his own delicious apple pie. He also wanted sparklers instead of candles. He had a cake with sparklers when he was two and he tried to kick them out, so he wanted a redo. There was no kicking this time :)
