Fighting DARTH!

I'm sure if you have kids you know how they can latch on to something and NEVER (ever, ever, ever, ever) let it go. Well for Shea, this is currently Star Wars. The kids is obsessed! Every day lately (sorry Spiderman) he is Luke Skywalker, Chris is Darth Vader (tee hee hee - Shea knows that Darth is Luke's father so daddy is therefore Darth) and my personal favorite, yours truly is Princess Leah (but so is Clare, so that's not saying much.)
Anyway - ever since Shea got his light saber at Christmas he's wanted to fight Darth Vader. Then a few months ago we were eating near the Jedi Training Camp at Disneyland and he saw that kids could actually get on the stage and fight Darth! Since then, I have heard about how much he wants to fight Darth Vader EVERY SINGLE DAY, multiple times!!! So while Grandma and Grandpa were here we went to Disneyland so Shea could fight Darth. Well, it turns out, that not every kid sitting there gets to participate - they choose kids from the audience and call them up. I was so scared that they wouldn't pick Shea and he would be the most crushed little boy in the world. Well, thanks to Grandma who made it impossible for them NOT to pick him, he actually made it up on stage with a light saber and a Jedi robe. He was way too young, he couldn't figure out how to work his light saber and he couldn't follow the fighting sequence, but the cute guys running the show were absolutely adorable with him and kept talking to him and making comments that had the whole crowd busting up. So eventually Darth comes out and Shea takes one look at the full size, all decked out, up close and personal Darth Vader and bolts!!! It was pretty hilarious. Here are the pics.
(And yes, Shea wants a chance to redeem himself because we're back to him asking multiple times every day to go to Disneyland and fight Darth again.)
