Darth Vader Caught Me

I forgot to post this when it happened last weekend! My wife and I took the boys to the Mall to pick up some clothes for AJ and we ran into Darth Vader, some Stormtroopers and even a Jawa. I think he knows I’m strong with the force.

My boys are growing up fast and I am learning more about fatherhood as each day passes. I love being a dad and teaching my boys new things.
