Proud parent of a graduate of the Jedi Training Academy

In February we watched this show in tomorrow land and were amazed at how clever and fun it was. We thought that Logan would love it since he loves Star Wars (from playing Lego Star wars on the Xbox) So we picked him up a Jedi costume and hemmed it up so it would fit him and crossed our fingers that he would be picked to go up and fight Darth Vader... (Logan calls him "lukeimyerfadur", say it fast and it will make sense)
We all freaked out when they called him up out of the crowd of kids, He was one of the youngest there and we were a little worried that he would get stage fright and want to come back and just watch but fortunately, he really got into it and marched to his spot once they gave him a robe and a light saber.
The instructors gave really good examples of what to do if Vader were to appear but Logan was so excited he just stood there and smiled.
Then out of the ground rose up Darth Vader, Darth Maul and a couple of Storm Troopers. The instructors told all of the students to put there sabers away so that they would not be provoked, but Logan looked at them as if they were crazy and kept his out, everyone in the place was laughing at Logan...
After a short wait, it was Logan's turn, He did really well for being barely three.
After it was all over, they marched the kids out on stage and gave them each diplomas. That made Logan feel so proud, he walked around like he owned the place after that. We were happy that he got a chance to face Vader. What a cool kid!!!

These flicks are terrific. We are so proud of Logan. After mastering the training of the Jedis and the roller-coasters, he is a force to be reckoned with.

Our love to all.

Love,
Dad and Mom
