When we attended the Family Flicks in the park this summer, we were handed a flyer for an event in the fall. We marked it on our calendar since it interested the boys. They prepared and anticipated it and the day finally arrived. Star Wars in the Park! ...where they would get to watch "The Force Awakens" on the big screen at the park. They dressed up to attend...
Miles: Luke Skywalker
Cooper: Kylo Ren
Daddy (not pictured): Chewbacca the Wookie
Costume not required according to the boys. :)
(Spoiler Alert: These will mostly likely be their Halloween costumes too.)
They left with the understanding that if it was way too crowded and crazy, they were just going to come back home. When they arrived at the park, they were pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't very busy at all. And that there were (other) authentically costumed characters!
Derek did an excellent job of documenting the event with photos and video for me. Well...after a Stormtrooper reminded him he should take a photo. (hahahahaha!)
They had Jedi training and these guys did NOT break character!
Derek took a lot of video of this, it's great.
But I wanted to post this video of Miles running the obstacle course... because... well... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(FYI: Derek hung around to help put the course back in order after Miles' run!)
Next the boys got some "bad guy" or "good guy" symbols painted on their face/arm.
Then got to go pick get a prize from the front. They had big bubble wands for the kids with silver tape over the handles so they looked like light sabers.
There were quite a few other games and events, but seriously, how often do you get to play with bubbles with stormtroopers?! :)
Derek snapped a photo of some characters taking a group photo.
And, yes... they actually got around to watching the movie.
The low turnout seems like maybe there was poor marketing/advertising for this event. We really hope they keep doing events like this, they boys had a great time!
