Forceful

We continued our OC cousinfest with a trip to the Discovery Cube in Santa Ana, which is currently featuring—you guessed it—a Star Wars exhibit. 

It was truly spectacular, featuring authentic costumes, props, models, behind the scenes video commentary, a hovercraft ride, Millennium Falcon simulator and more. We highly recommend it to any SW geek/cool guy in your life. Mark wants to go back and see it again sans kids to really be able to experience it completely and no, Leah won’t be going with him in a Princess Leia costume.

Ben was overwhelmed, overexcited and wanting to be sure Leah was taking lots of pictures (“I want to print them out for my Jedi notebook!”).  Clara soon grew grumpy, collapsing in Leah’s lap with, “I like Star Wars. I just don’t like this much Star Wars.”  She was happy exploring the other parts of the science center, especially the grocery store (the scanner was a huge hit) and the cookie decorating station. They also had a gingerbread contest going (complete with a Star Wars section) and as we were leaving, Santa appeared!

It was a super kick-off to a force-filled little Christmas season.
