Nathan's Jedi Academy


Timing is everything, I’ve been told and usually my timing isn’t close to ‘perfect’ although today’s activity I think was. Praise God for Him giving me some wisdom.

Nathan’s “Just Because, Summer Party” was today, the day before he began kindergarten. He had four classmates come; Michael, Andrew, Jonas, and his cousin Kaydon to participate in a Jedi Training Academy, Star Wars style!

Each got extensive lessons on how to use a Light Saber (pool noodle cut in half). They dodged the Death Star, saved Princess Leia, threw cannons (water balloons) at the Imperial Ship, and much more.




Light Sabers were on our minds and in our tummies too. Lunch was full of them…corndogs on a stick, fruit kabobs, and yogurt sticks. Yummy!

Although not invited, a guest appeared near the end of the day with loud music to introduce himself…Darth Vader (a.k.a. Daddy/Jon). You should have seen the boys’ eyes! It was then where these ‘wanna be’ Jedi’s showed their skills, battling Darth himself. All were “Victorious”, especially Jedi Jonas who took Darth down to the ground!





All graduated with flying colors…so let me proudly introduce to you…

Jedi Andrew
Jedi Michael
Jedi Kaydon
Jedi Nathan
Jedi Owen

The party was ending and all the boys hugged saying, “See you tomorrow at school!” They were eager to continue their friendships and see each other again! I just hope that their choice of ‘at recess will be appropriate. Mrs. Zavisch is in store for some very sweet boys!

(P.S. Don’t break the news to Owen. He thinks this party was “his” too.)
