This week when I (Laura) was working at the thrift store (my two hours of volunteer/helping out time), I found a light saber. I thought Elijah would love it. He really likes "fighting" with swords but using a light saber would take the fighting to a whole other level. It was all in pieces in a shoe box but I thought maybe we could figure out how to put it together. Right under that shoe box donation was another identical shoe box with, you guessed it, another light saber. Having two kids now we have learned that one toy is not usually enough. It works so much better to have two - no fighting, playing at the same time...a "fighting" partner for Elijah...perfect!
So I bought them, brought them home and Dave put them together. The kids loved the surprise!!! We've been telling Elijah a little about Star Wars (more about Darth Vader, aka Doctor Gator as Elijah calls him, Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knights, etc.). We took a video of the kids' first time playing with them, with lights out. Then Dave and Elijah took another video of them playing.
Finally, here's a picture of the light sabers found on-line. They are sold for $25-30 and have lots of different parts that allow you to change the color, sound, and style of the light saber. Totally cool!!!
AWESOME!!!! FLIPPING SWEET! Why didn't we have those in college? In Guinea the kids made them out of smim noodles on plastic water line. THey loved those things, but they didn't light up like these. Great find Laura, Dave you might need a little help with the force, i think your metacalorian level is a little low, either that or Elijah is smokin with them.:)
Los Angeles is our playground. We love city life and can't imagine ourselves living anywhere else right now! We love the diversity the city offers and the numerous opportunities it provides for teachable moments with our kids. Thanks for stopping to read about our family adventures.
