ELI'S BIRTHDAY
We took Eli to Disneyland for his birthday. It would be his last birthday there for a long time since our passes expired in November and we wouldn't be renewing them for awhile. As a rule in the Boman family, when you go to Disneyland on your birthday, you get to choose all the rides and activities. We had never done the Jedi Training Academy, so that was at the top of Eli's list. They only select a certain number of kids from the crowd. We were thrilled that they chose not only Eli, but Shailey and Isaac as well.
The show was very fun. The kids all got to wear a Jedi robe and train with a real Jedi on how to properly use a lightsaber. And then who should show up? None other than Darth Vader and his goons, of course!
Each kid got a turn battling Darth Vader one on one! Isaac dropped his lightsaber (which was met with taunting from Darth Vader) but he picked it right back up, continued fighting and did very well.
Shailey forgot the fighting sequence altogether. Or maybe after watching the other kids she realized the fighting sequence they were doing clearly wasn't causing Darth's defeat...so she made up her own and went straight for his head! The Jedi assisting her reminded her to "Remember the sequence, young Padawan!" and intervened. :)
When it was Eli's turn, he had a look of determination on face like, "Bring it on, Darth!!" He did very well remembering the fighting sequence they learned.
They all got certificates for completing their training. It was a lot of fun and he had a great birthday!
