Last Saturday we went to the Blaisdell Center to check out the Hawaii Collector’s show. I had read a story in a newspaper that there would be a group who dress up as storm troopers and other star wars characters would be there.  Of course I kept that part quiet and just told the boys we’d be going on an adventure to look at some cool old stuff.  Some of my favorites:

typewriters, telephones, slide viewers, bottles, suitcases, old cameras, yoyo quilts…

and then the part we really went to see… the star wars guys. I thought it was a bit comical that this guy was drinking coffee. like, “see the empire needs caffeine too”…

Jordan was excited to take pictures with these guys, but for some reason, he never wants to look at the camera anymore. Not sure what the deal on that is… here are the boys with some storm troopers.

here they are with Boba Fett, bounty hunter.

and Jalen with another storm trooper.

and to preface this picture, i must say we are a no gun house.  Other than the lego blasters/guns that have just recently entered our home with the Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Agents Lego sets and the Star Wars Action figures, we had no guns in our home.  the closest thing was a dinosaur water gun from Disney World two years ago.  The boys will sometimes construct guns out of Lego blocks, but not when I am looking at them.  I think it’s rude to point a gun at someone and until I think they are old enought to follow that rule… we’ll continue to be a no gun household. now this next picture, I’m framing up the shot and just before I snap it, the guy in the black hands over the blaster to Jalen. and I snap the shot. He hands the blaster back.  Jordan immediately asks why the guy gave it to Jalen. I tell him, well son, I think he didn’t know we’re a no gun family.  but the shot is cute anyway.

We had a fun time at the collectors show!
