The Force is strong with this one

On two previous trips to Disneyland, Alec had wanted to be part of the 'Jedi Training Academy' and has developed a fascination with Darth Vader (we haven't yet let him watch any of the films, read: he doesn't really comprehend Darth's evil character).

So, on our recent trip to Disneyland (27 August) I was determined to get him in this time. Since the announcer always picks the children in Star Wars merchandise, I purposefully brought Alec's Halloween costume (bought last November on Halloween clearance) of Darth Vader. It worked like a charm! The announcer called to Alec, "and the mini Vader in front, we'll try to turn you from your dark path."

I filmed all 20 minutes of it and we bought the Disney photographer's picture of him-it was definitely the highlight of this trip!


Also, huge thanks to my cousin Colin who got us in FREE!

Li'l Kickers Soccer

Alec loves soccer, so when my friend Hilary mentioned putting the kids in an indoor practice, I was all for it! No sitting in the sun, Alec gets to (happily) burn off energy and I get to regularly sit and chat with my buddy. It's a win-win situation.
