More so, I love having this experience with Harrison; of being able to just get in the car and go for a couple hours at the drop of a hat.
That's what we did today after church, thanks to a Christmas gift from the G.I.D., And now it gets better because Harrison is tall enough for pretty much everything in Disneyland park. Rock On!!
Needless to say, he's hooked on Star Tours.
And today? There was no exception to the fun, Harrison insisted on running over to see Darth Vader and the Jedi Training Academy; but not only did we watch, he raised his hand while jumping up and down excitedly to be chosen.
Chosen, he was.
He listened and learned...
Then Darth Vader appeared and the match began.
But Darth Vader backed off {no full surrender today}.
And the newest Jedi-in-Training, Padawan Harrison, made his way back to his mother, certificate in hand, knowing that he defeated Darth Vader and all was well in the universe.
May the Force be with you this week.
Visit Mother May I for more of the best.

That's BEYOND cool! I love the excitment in his face!
NO stinkin' way?! That is SO awesome!!! He looked like a TRUE Jedi up there!! I am jealous. lol
OH - HE GOT PICKED!!! How fantastic - and it is an amazing place (and great gift GID!)
We ALMOST drove down this weekend to go to my Happiest Place On Earth, too! I think we are going to try to go next weekend...it really is such a magical place.
The force will be very strong this week, I predict.
jedi training academy is so fun! my harrison was picked when we were there last month -- so proud he was (in yoda speak :). love those shots!
Oh,I miss going! We had passes the two years ago and loved zipping up for a weekend.
Does Harrison know what he wants to be for Halloween?? ;) My little guy has his all figured out!
:)
Holy cow, is that cool or what?! I'm giessing that ranks up there in his top ten experiences ever!
What a great Jedi-in-training!!! In a few years, he'll have darth vader surrendering in no time flat. Harrison will be SUPER tough!
What an exciting experience for him! He is going to remember that forever, you just know it. I really liked the first shot of him standing there like a little Jedi. But then after reading the post, I got to the last shot and my heart just melted. I love the smile as he is running towards you (certificate in hand!) and that proud little face.
I bet he was SO excited! What a wonderful time for your little Padawan!
That is so awesome! How great for Harrison! My girls have just gotten into Star Wars the last few months. I'm sure they'd love to do that sometime. They both have light sabers, now. Great photos captured, too!
That is awesome and the last picture is perfect!! What fun!
Oh man. I can only imagine how excited he was to be chosen. How cool and that last photo says it all.
Wow! Incredible for him!
We love Disneyland as well (though who really doesn't?!). When we lived nearby and had an annual pass, the kids got so spoiled. Now they haven't been in 4 years and they're itching to go back (plus, we've added an additional kid who has never even been there).
Enjoy your moments!
No way! How special did he feel?! I imagine that had him smiling the rest of the day. :)
Such a courageous soul! You can see the sense of accomplishment on his face in the last photo...
Awesome! great shots and I am sure this created great memories :)
That is so cool, he look like a natural. What a great experience for you both!
