Star Wars Weekend

Last weekend was the final "Star Wars Weekend" at Hollywood Studios. Evan is really into Star Wars. We have no idea where that came from, but he loves to play with his characters and continuously begs us to let him watch the movies. So, we thought going to SW Weekend would be a fun way to spend our Friday evening, which it definitely was. Evan got to see Chewbacca and Princess Leia and met 3CP0. Evan, Joe and Claire also got to ride on this space ship thing (see I know very little about it all).

In addition to the Star Wars stuff, Evan is now tall enough to ride a whole new set of rides at the Disney parks, including Tower of Terror. Ever since his friend Kaila told him that they were tall enough, he has spoken of nothing else. We kept telling him it would be like his worst nightmare and that it was so scary that I would NEVER consider going on it. He didn't care, he was determined to go. So, Joe took him. I was so proud of him, he stood in line for 30 minutes, went on and didn't cry. Right after it was over, he wanted to go again, but since then has told us, he needs to be a lot older before he goes on it again, because it was pretty scary! You think? I'm glad he went on though b/c we'd be hearing about it for months if he hadn't and now he knows, maybe that's not the best ride. He went on, he enjoyed it and has made it through un-scared.
