I took, actually dragged the kids to Discovery World on Saturday for a Star Wars exhibit. How the boys could not be excited about going , especially considering their intense love of Star Wars, is a mystery to me (???) It was funny though because as soon as we walked in there, we caught a glimpse of Darth Vader taking pictures with a bunch of kids, and both Cameron and Connor turned white as ghosts. I thought Connor was going to bolt out of there! So being the sensitive, nurturing mother that I am, I started laughing and tried to get them to go over and get a picture with him. I told them not to worry, it wasn't the REAL Darth Vader, plus he didn't even have his light saber on him, so what was he going to do? I then realized that these poor boys were really truly legitimately scared, as they made a run for it, Connor grabbing the stroller out of my hands and pushing Kate to safety as well. What a good big brother :) So needless to say, we didn't get a picture with Darth Vader that day, but we did get some other fun shots, with R2D2 and a few other droids (I think that's what they're called, I am not up on my Star Wars terminology like I should be....)
The funny thing is that Darth Vader just seemed to keep "popping up" the whole time we were at Discovery World, one time following us down a hall, another time standing there as we were getting off the elevator. It WAS kind of creepy.....
Just his size!
Just her size!

Wouldn't you be scared too???
Any Milwaukeans know what that is in the top left corner?

It looks like you had fun- Pretty funny that they remembered Kate when they made a run for it. Nurturing mother and protective older brothers. What else does Kate need?
Looks like a blast!
I think I'll have to show the pictures to Elizabeth. (And yes, I am up on my terminology-unfortunately-and they are droids.)
I love the part where you say you start to laugh b/c you're such a sensitive mother. That's great! How fun...even if a little too real.
Sounds like you had a great time...minus Darth Vader, of course. And that wouldn't be the art museum in the corner of that picture, now would it?
I was trying not to laugh out loud when I read about Darth Vader. It's late and everyone else here is sleeping =) We never made it to the Discovery Center while we were there. LOVE the Princess Leia costume!!
