Well the hubby turned the big 3-5 today. So what was his birthday wish?

To spend it with his chicas at the Museum of Science & Industry to see the "Star Wars" exhibit.

It was pretty damn neat, so if you're in Chicago or will be in Chicago, stop and see it. Yes, it's pricey ($21 for adults), but it's so worth it. Of course we got in free as I received a free membership that came with a voucher. But we still would had gone, we were planning it since we knew it was coming. Anywho, it was a lot of fun.

BUT...at one point we see the Darth Vader costume. Ella runs to grab the hubby, "Daddy! Darth Vader!" We both laugh and smile with pride knowing we're raising her right. Then she says it, "That's Luke Skywalker's dad!"

*thud*

She hasn't seen all the movies yet and we haven't told her that Darth Vader is Luke's dad, but we figure that she figured it out by the snippets she has seen and that Anakin is Vader. And for the record, my stance was that she shouldn't watch snippets out of order, but hey, I'm only her mother.

While we're disappointed that she won't be shocked about the revelation in Empire the way we were, but I think it'll be a great conversation in a few years about how she views the saga versus how we view it.

And hopefully we'll all be in agreement that Han shot first.
