As a family we went to the grand opening of a gamer store just down the street.
the guest of Honor was none other then Darth Vader and storm troopers. now I'm not a sci-fi guy, I've seen star wars (all six) and i have seen most of the star trek movies(only 5 of them), i would not dress up like them. yet i was taken back to my childhood when i saw these guys. when they asked if i wanted to take a picture with them how do you say "no". as i stood by them for the picture they said "we can do better then that!" here is the result.
the boys were more scared then amazed, and having daddy forced to plead for his life might not have helped. it was a fun time and something that i will
not forget.
this was as close as Ethan would get to the guys, and only when their back was turned. we had to be sneaky. after this we went to dinner and while a dinner the boys got brave enough to g ad talk to the guys. alas they were beamed back to the mother ship and the kids learned that even Darth Vader is not around forever.
