Spokies! May 3, 2008
I am in Spokane this weekend for my sister-in-law’s graduation. Gooooo Dr. Lindsey!!
Isn’t she a cutie?!
Although, that was the whole point of the trip the highlight might have been seeing people on the street corner by our hotel dressed as Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, and those weird sand people, which my sister informed me are called Tuscan Raiders. Here’s a blurry picture:
My sister isn’t into Science fiction she just has a three year old son who is obsessed with Star Wars - he has, oh I don’t know, approximately 40 star wars figurines. My sister just happened to be on the phone with Jared when she saw these guys. Here’s their following conversation:
Erin: Jared, You will not believe who we are looking at right now on the street! Darth Vader and he is waving at us!
Jared: Will I see him when I get in the car?!
Erin: No, babe, he’s in Spokane and you’re all the way in Seattle.
Jared: I think I can come over!!!
Luckily, I did get a blurry picture to show him.
Update: I showed Jared the picture and his response was, “Where’s the Storm Trooper?” I guess Darth Vader wasn’t good enough for him. But he is trying to convince his parents that a trip to Spokane is quite necessary.
What? And you didn’t immediately put on a Princess Leah costume and join them???
What is wrong with you?
I know! It just had to be the one time that I didn’t have my Princess Leah costume with me. I definitely learned my lesson - it’s never leaving my side again.
