9 on 9/9!

Apparently, a 'Golden Birthday' is a thing now... (it never was when i was a kid, i think). It is when the age you turn on your birthday matches the day of the month. So, yesterday we celebrated Johan's Golden Birthday when he turned 9 on the 9th (perhaps he had a Platinum Birthday since it fell also in the 9th month)?
Asked how he wanted to celebrate he said he wanted a day out with his family. So, after having donuts for breakfast (good start, eh?!) we meandered to the Mall of America, via lunch at McDonald's (he had every other option under the sun!).  The boys spent the day on rides at the MOA (Ericka and I were parked on a bench watching and taking pictures).
The mall now also has a giant ropes course with a zip line that was tall enough to make anyone queasy. 
We finished the evening having dinner at the Rainforest Cafe where he was surprised by the restaurant (someone tattled) with a giant ice cream 'volcano' dessert. 
Johan said it was the best birthday ever.  That's good. Because for your Golden Birthday you get no do-overs!
