I don’t know when I discovered the whole “May the 4th be with you” fun, but I am always keen for a random holiday and especially one that supports Star Wars! I may not be a super fan like some of our friends, but I do love the movies! And despite them not having seen any of the movies yet, the boys are also fans!

I claim full influence over this!

So when I saw the local library was having a May the 4th celebration, I conned my parents into watching Natalie so I could take the boys. They were super excited about learning some “light-saber” skills! I had to fill out waivers for them to participate since there was obviously a slight chance of injury… And the lady helpfully pointed out that their dad could also participate if he filled out a form.

Their dad?!?! What???

She finally noticed which parent was actually wearing the relevant shirt and offered that I could also join in if I wanted to…?

Hmmmph!

I decided to just let the kids have their fun and take photos instead. Besides, I don’t think I could keep a straight face trying to light saber duel with these super fans that were the instructors… ;)

The boys were (thankfully) very tolerant of me wanting to take photos of them with all of the fun props!

And they even took the time to make some awesome Yoda ears! Such cute little Yodas! :)

Thanks to Matt for putting up with us and our Star Wars geekiness.
