Disneyland Day 5 and 6 / Star Wars

Tuesday and Wednesday were spent around the parks having fun going on ride after ride. On Wednesday we went over to the Brother Bear area ...and played over there for hours. Marshall did rock climbing, the tire ride and climbed the ropes. Kambria was just happy to be out of the stroller and ran and ran and ran.

My wonderful Mom and Dad at Brother Bear Land.

On Wednesday Marshall wanted to do the Jedi Training Camp. They have an area where the master Jedi comes out and he picks about 15 kids to come up and wear a cloak and they get light sabers and they learn how to fight and then at the end they either get chosen to fight Darth Maul or Darth Vader. The show started at 10:30, so we got there at 10:00 so we were in the front. When they were picking the kids to go up Marshall was jumping and screaming and Jake was waving his arms around, Marshall did not get picked, it was a sad moment of crying and disappointment. Ever since we planned our vacation he had told us he was going to fight Darth Vader and had been so excited. As parents we felt bad that he wasn't chosen because we knew how bad he wanted to get picked. So Thursday Morning we made a sign for Marshall that read, "The force is strong with Me" it had an arrow pointing down to Marshall. He had bought a few Star Wars potato heads so we cut up the boxes and taped the guys to the sign as well. That morning we showed up to the show at 10:00 again.

The guy looked at Marshall and got a huge smile on his face and said to Marshall, "I do feel the force is strong with you Jedi, come on up!" Marshall was so excited, he ran up there and was on top of the stage in front center. He was so happy! They trained them how to fight the right way and then the kids started to fight Darth Maul, only a few lucky kids got to fight Darth Vader, and Marshall was one of them!!! I am so glad that our sign paid off!Afterwards we headed over to California adventure to get a few signatures from the princess' and then we were on our way back to las vegas.

My lovely pose with the C, Jake wouldn't take the picture until I posed :)

On our way home we stayed at the Stratosphere, the rooms were so nice! Since we stayed there we were able to go to the top for free. That is high up there, it made me a little bit nervous, but the view was amazing! We stayed in Vegas an extra night to spend more time with Jake's Dad. We went swimming, went back up to the top of the stratosphere and had a buffet lunch! My camera died and I couldn't find the charger so there are no pictures of the Stratosphere view, but it was amazing!!
