The force has been strong as we have prepared for our Star Wars party! We have had non-stop arts and crafts for school the past week, first making a BB-8 Bean Bag Toss Game:
a Death Star Pinata using this tutorial:
Pin the Blaster on Boba Fett
and a Storm Trooper Target Practice game:
Additionally, we made a new cosplay costume for Erin.
Doesn't she make a perfect little Rey?
(pardon the purple flip-flops--no wool boots were available in Del Rio)
Dallin wore one of Ian's old youngling costumes.
We joined our forces with the Young Men of the Del Rio 1st Branch and held the party at our church building. The evening started off with Ian giving a short presentation of "How Star Wars is Religious."
Then we all played the games, engaged in light saber battles, and ate treats.
And the treats! They were AWESOME!
(We spent most of the afternoon making ours--the light sabers, popcorn,
and BB-eats.)
We played a trivia game, Jeopardy-style with "Who Said This?"
questions from all of the 7 Star Wars movies.
Then we ended with the destruction of the Death Star.
Ian was the rebel who blasted it to pieces.
I can now empathize with Darth Vader,
seeing countless hours of work destroyed with a single hit.

It looks like you all had a smashing time! We . . . actually forgot that it was Star Wars Day until Mom saw a bunch of kids wearing Star Wars shirts to school. So we didn't celebrate this year. Your Death Star pinata is way awesome, though. :D
