A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

it was Ron's birthday! His lovely sister got him two tickets to Star Wars in Concert... and the event was TODAY! Part of the deal was a built in babysitter, so he and I drove off to Ontario...

while Libi spent the day with her Aunts.

Grammy and Grampy also joined in on the fun!

They went all over: lunch, the park, Grammy and Grampy's house! A very full day of fun.

Ron and I made it all the way down there in record time... which was a good thing!

They have all sorts of displays and memorabilia to look at...

not to mention folks dressed up as characters from all of the movies.

Ron had his picture taken with R2D2 and Leia...

while I had mine taken with my superstar... Neil!!!!!!!

There was a sizable line for these guys, but we wanted a picture of the two of us with a character so we waited. I was hoping for a warm, fuzzy pose maybe all of us holding hands...

but this is what we got. Not exactly a Christmas card photo. (Please note how oblivious we are to what they are doing-- see our huge smiles and happy hand-holding!)

We had really good seats for the show!

Let's get this party started!!!

The host was the actor who played C3PO in every Star Wars movie, Anthony Daniels. He did a wonderful job of re-telling the story in chronological order...

while the orchestra played John Williams' amazing music, lasers went off, and movie scenes played on the big screen.

It was a really cool event!!! Even if I had to take secret photos so as not to make our usher lady angry :)

While I'm not a huge Star Wars fan it was totally an enjoyable afternoon-- something that you don't see every day!
