6th Birthday




Not to be left out, Finn had a big event as well when he turned 6 on Derby Day. He made out like a bandit, and even slept with his new electronic, spring-loaded lightsaber. My buddy Mike Middleton absolutely loved the giant box kite that Finn got from his Aunt Shari and uncle Brendon (a replica of Darth Vader's Tie Fighter) but when he saw that you could also get a Millennium Falcon kite, he wondered if it could even fly. I had to explain to him that it made the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs, so yes - it can fly. Mike warned me when he arrived that he might have gone overboard on his gift, but as Finn's godfather he had that authority -- he and Cindee got Finn a child sized .22 rifle. It is pretty darn cool, and Finn is very excited to go and try it out.
