A Long Time Ago


In a Galaxy not so far away, a baby boy was born named Jake.




As he grew, it became evident.
The force was strong with this one...

Can he measure up? Jake on his 3rd birthday


Yoda Jake, Halloween 2007

Yoda and others from the Jedi Council, 2007 Halloween


The Clone Wars have begun. Halloween 2008


Nearing his 5th birthday Jake is. Time to complete his Jedi training it is.

Welcome to the Jedi Training Center...

aka Jake's 5th birthday party!



The Jedi Training Course
"Dagobah" tunnel and obstacle course


Walk over Hot Lava (Episode 3)


Space Ship Landing Practice(who can land a frisbee ship into one of 2 hoola hoops)


Feed Jabba the Hut(bean bag game)

Light Saber Training (Keep balloon off the ground with lightsaber made from swimming noodle.)

Save Princess Leia (Put a figurine of Princes Leia in a balloon & blow it up. Mix up balloon with other balloons. Jedi must rescue her by popping all the balloons to find Leia.)

Jedi Zach saved the Princess!


Gungan Water Balloon Fight (knock over the droids stacking cups with water balloons)


Release Han Solo from the Carbonate (Freeze two Han solo figurines in a rectangular container filled with water. Jedi’s must release Han from his icy prison in water relay race.)


After becoming a Jedi, it was time for lunch at the Cantina.
The Menu included Hoth Dogs, X-Wing Fighters, Astroid Cheetoes, Greedo's Grapes, Wookie Water, Jar Jar's Juice, and of course YODA SODA!



Lightsaber Cake and Death Star Cake Balls were also served.





The young Jedi had time to play and watch a little Clone Wars before they departed with their Star Wars Pez dispenser and lightsaber on their motherships.




May the force be with you!

I had no idea it was so full of awesome games right from the movies. I should have stuck around to play them too. Summer had a lot of fun. Great job at coming up with such creative ideas.
