It was my nephew's 4th birthday this past weekend and he is a chip off the old block, as evidenced by the Star Wars haul pictured above. Last year he had a Batman themed party that was as fun as this years Star Wars party.
His older seven year old cousin is into it all too. Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, just like me. These two little Younglings remind my so much of myself, it amazes me. Of course they cover the newer toys as I am more of a vintage toy kind of guy, but these two collectors in training run right for the Batcave Toy Room every time they come over my place. They love Uncle John's vintage toys. I know it just kills them not being able to open and play with everything.
To top it all off we had this ultra cool Darth Vader helmet birthday cake. Cake Boss eat your heart out.
That cake is so cool looking John it was almost a shame you guys had to eat it....almost lol.
ReplyDeleteJBoy- I guess you can say we had our Darth Vader helmet and ate it too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love stories where our hobbies conitnue into the next generation. A few years back I gave my kids ALL of my Star Wars toys (post 1997)...they got my Falcon and X-Wing (two I never had growing up but snagged on clearance before the prequels came out).
ReplyDeleteI seed my classroom library each year with comics and graphic novels in hopes of snagging a kid or two...
Yes, it is pretty neat. Wow! That's really cool. What grade do you teach?
DeleteI'm a fifth grade teacher now....many years at 3rd or 4th. I'll stock everything from Foxtrot & Clavin and Hobbes to Powerpuff Girls and X-Men. Star Wars: Clone Wars collections are popular, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I wish my teachers did that when I was a kid.
