R2-KT


R2-KT

We had a fun time in California. This is a picture of R2-KT. This little droid is very special to our family. R2-KT was made for Katie Johnson (our daughters namesake) when she was sick. Her sister Allie had the idea while watching Attack of the clones and R2-D2 watching over Padme.

It was announced by Hasbro (the ones that do the Star Wars figures) that in July there will be an R2-KT figure out. Hasbro and Lucasfilm have agreed to donate $100,000 to Make a Wish Foundation in honor of Katie Johnson. For more informaton go to www.R2KT.com

We will be getting (several) R2-KT's and expect to see one in Katie's Halloween Picture in October.

We are Here!

We got here yesterday. The trip was interesting and I'm glad that our connecting flight in Denver was the next gate over. Helped when we got in late and didn't have to run to the gate.

Today we went into town and had lunch. After that we went back to Kay's and took a nap. I'm glad that we had a day to just rest.

Tomorrow we are going to Celebration IV. Should be an interesting day. It was on the news that there was a bomb threat. Looked like there was a bag or something that was left out and so they called the police. It was nothing.

So look for the two crazy geeks (one with a Yoda back pack on her back) from Texas.

We will be getting home late Sunday night. Pictures will be downloaded on Monday morning.

Getting ready for the trip....

Well in about 48 hours we will be in California (hopefully) not getting lost trying to find where Kay is.

Went to Wal-Mart to get supplies for us (3oz or less) and stuff for Katie for when we are gone.

Also getting songs together for a slide/video show that I plan on working on.

Adam will be going to Best Buy tonight to get a 2 gb card for the camera. More pictures and (embarrissing) videos for him to take!

Have to go a rescue the teddybear that Katie is about to toss out of her pack and play.
