A Jedi I am....



Last weekend we went with Lisa, Dave and the kids to Disneyland. I had told Carter about "Jedi Training" and he was dying to go. We got there just in time for the last show and luckily he got picked!! I felt like one of those annoying parents who does whatever they can to get their kid picked!!! Well,it worked!! It was really cool. They gave him a robe and a light saver. Then they taught them how to fight. Then all of a sudden some Storm Troopers came out with Darth Mall. Then the music got really intense, there was fog and Darth Vader appeared!! He was HUGE!! I thought for a second Carter might get too scared and run off....but he was BRAVE!! Each kid got a turn at fighting either Darth Vader or Darth Mall. Luckily Carter got to fight Darth Vader. He looked so small compared to him!! He did great and almost took off Vader's head!!! I took the pictures while Dave took video. After, they all got a certificate saying that they had completed the Jedi training and they were now officially Jedi's!!! Carter really thinks he is a Jedi now! He decided that now he should be a Jedi for Halloween since he really is one! He couldn't stop talking about it and pulling his new moves the rest of the night!!
































After we had some dinner and then headed out to some rides. We got in line for the Buzz LightYear ride, but it broke down while we were in line. Jaden was really bummed. All he kept saying all day was "I'm going to go on the Buzz ride and shoot"!! We went on the rocket ride instead.














We then headed to Toon Town. The kids played in all the houses while Dave and Joe watched Brady.









Dave got this idea that he would take Carter on the roller coaster, but not really tell him what it was. As we were in line, Carter started to notice what the ride was and DID NOT want to go on. Dave told him that he would be fine...well not exactly. The poor little guy screamed bloody murder the ENTIRE time. It was so sad. I think he will never get on another roller coaster again!! Jaden LOVED it and kept asking if he could go again. He would say that it was really fun, but it hurt his tummy!!!!!











We then met up with my cousin, Chris, Jenny and Kate and hung out with them the rest of the night.











Brady was SOOOO good the whole night. He did not make one peep!! We all forgot he was even with us. He just layed in his stoller the whole night!! He is the perfect Disney baby!!!

how fun! I am jealous. We need to come out there and hang out with you guys so we can talk more instead of being busy with wedding stuff. I didn't know about Jedi training! It's funny how Kate does not look like she fits in with the rest of the kids with her fair complexion. Love the last shot of Brady. He's so cute!!
