A friend of Stormtrooper Ranch shared this story about our Troopers, and we thought we would share it with you. This is from our friends Sister-in-Law’s MySpace. We corrected the Troopers character names in this story:
Show Me a Super Trooper Dressed as Batman, and I'll show you the Happiest Boy in the World
Yes. My super-hero (mostly Batman) loving son met a Storm Trooper, who was dressed like Batman. How awesome is that?
Through his eyes, Judah has yet again met one of his heroes! He was (and still is) so very excited. To be watching him at the time he saw this BatTrooper (Thatman) (yeah, that's what I'll call him) he froze, then his eyes got huge (I'm thinking to myself ""WT.....") so as I turned around to see what he was looking at his voice rang out: "Mommy! Mommy look! BATMAN!!!!" which could be heard throughout the parking lot along with giggles and a few cheers for my star-struck son. This BatTrooper (Thatman) looked over and to Judah's pure overjoyment, gave him a wave. Then slowly Judah began to notice the other Troopers: The FlashTrooper (Mega Dork), SuperTrooper, ArmyTrooper (GI-JOBA-FETT) and of course Miss Princess Leia Robin. (Thatman’s sidekick was a chick! AWESOME.) This just brought on jumps of joy for mister Judah and brought him to bolt to see the the heroes. Catching up to Judah he was hi-fiving Thatman with the biggest grin I've ever seen. So here I am camera-happy-mommy, ready to snap this most perfect picture when I notice little Toni by my side, very shy and carefully watching these huge Troopers, but a small smile curled up before she asked if she could be in the picture. But of course! She slowly walked over and stood next to Judah as I snapped the picture of a lifetime.
What a great start to an awesome day! The parade was about to start (Fiesta days in my home town) so as we were getting ready I wanted some of the action so I asked Thatman to snap a pic and I grabbed Mega Dork and SuperTrooper decided to hop in too. Score! Yes, the kid in me does decide to come out once in a while, and when it does much fun is on the way! My son laughed as we posed, which in turn made me giggle like a kid, which then even made the Troopers laugh themselves.
Yes. Mega Dork is wearing glasses. Haha. Seriously, these guys are the coolest things ever. I can't get over it. GENIUS!
Annnnd on to another part of the adventure of today. (Don't worry, Trooper guys will return a little later on). We walk through the parade, the twins were on the float with Little Logger and Little Miss Fiesta (THE cutest things ever) as I pushed miss Carmen in her stroller, and we passed out bubbles (well, I passed them out and she, chewed, on them.) She was waving up a storm stirring up many "awww"s and tons of "how cute"s out of the crowd, loving every minute of it (of course she was, after all she is my kid!).
After we were done with the parade and chatted a bit with Mom (who was the Grand Marshal of the parade this year, what an honor!) we walked back a bit and watched the rest of the of it while everyone else took the float back to the house. And yes. Again we pass those most awesome Troopers. Carmen didn't like them nearly as much as the kids did (granted she did need a nap like 2 hours before that moment), well in fact she wasn't thrilled with them at all. The look she gave them could stop a robber in his tracks! Thatman wasn't too excited about that, so he moved on and high-fived the swarm of kids coming our way.
(oh yeah! TOTALLY forgot about LoggerTrooper)
Thank you for your excitement, this is why we do this!
