Our 2nd day at FAN EXPO Vancouver was a blast and chock full of Star Wars fun! (

For starters we had a brief chat with actor/stuntman/martial arts expert Ray Park aka.
Darth Maul from
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace! Yesterday was just a handshake but today we got a picture and chatted a little bit about martial arts and child development.
Did you know this Sith apprentice to Darth Sidious was once an instructor for parent & tot martial arts classes? I sure didn't!
Then we made our way to the LEGO booth to see the mural in all it's finished glory!
Yesterday it looked like this but today it was completed. A close inspection was in order...
The highlight of the day though was
Star Wars Kids Hour put on by volunteers from the 501st Legion & Rebel Legion. Basically the kids did various Star Wars-themed games (mostly bean-bag tosses) and then were entered in a draw for great prizes including toys and DK Star Wars books.

| Receiving her orders from the Empire! |
 |
| "Great shot, Kid! That's one in a million!" |
 |
| Stretching to pin the tail on the very cute Tauntaun! |
 |
| Dangerous for the Empire to encourage this, don't you think? |
 |
| Some of the hard-working volunteers that made the event great! |

Thank you to all the fun Star Wars fan families we met over the weekend, thanks to the 501st & Rebel Legions for making the day extra fun for kids and thanks to FAN EXPO Vancouver for a wonderful weekend. See you next year!
