Vacation

Here are some snaps from our recent vacation. My camera pooped out and they look a little blurry.

Anyone who knows us, knows that four members of our family love, love, LOVE Star Wars. (The other family member likes it a "normal amount.") At one of the Disney parks, they have a show where they pick a few kids to receive Jedi training. They get to wear robes and fight with a "real Jedi." Then Darth Vader (que music in your mind) enters the stage and all the kids on stage get a chance to have a one-on-one light saber battle with him. Hubby had spent lots of time planning our day around this show. We got there early and staked out a front spot for the kids. By some miracle, both the older kids were chosen. Can you imagine the nightmare had they only chosen one? It's difficult to see in the pictures, but Darth Vader looked VERY real and was quite tall. Four year old told us later that he was only shaking because he was cold, not because he was scared. (It was almost 100 degrees and we were all dripping sweat.)
We were so lucky that grandma and grandpa met us there! It was fun to see them and we needed the extra hands!

Baby Lu was a good sport. He loved all the rides and shows. He was the only child who didn't protest in the Haunted Mansion or any of the other "scary" things.

See my baby trying to snuggle the car (below)? This was a highlight for him.

The weather was hot. There were NO LINES. We did lots of walking. We wouldn't have changed a thing.




Our vacation was really nice

I can guess who the one is who likes Star Wars the "normal amount". You're one step ahead of me. I don't even like it at all. Shh, don't tell Kent.
