Execute order 66

That title is from Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, and the order was to the clonetroopers to kill all of the Jedi.

The number 66 is also important today too, but for a whole other, more happier, reason. Because today Mr Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker himself, turns 66 years old. So join me in wishing the Last Jedi a very happy birthday.

My grandma, my human cousin, Mark Hamill, Daddy and I'm hiding in my stroller.

Daddy says that on Wednesday we are going to Fort York, I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs that a special athletic event was coming to our city, the event is called The Invictus Games, it's for people who have served in the military and were injured in some way.
Wednesday is the start of the Archery competition (and it's free to get in). Daddy says that we might get to meet Royalty when we are there. The guy that started the games is Prince Harry, little brother to Prince William (yes those Princes), HRH Harry has been seen around the city at some of the events, so there is a very good chance that he might be there when we go.

Last Sunday (so yesterday), me and daddy went with granty Flo to a book festival called Word on the Street, now the weird thing is this festival isn't on a street, but daddy tells me that three years ago it actually did close down a street, but moved to the other location, which is even harder to get to.

The book with all the vendors in it

I was just a little extra grumpy yesterday, it was rather hot out.

Daddy did put a frozen bottle and my fan, so it was a little better.

Daddy has a few friends who are constantly bashing Muslims and Islam, saying they are all terrorists. But daddy knows better, Islam is a peaceful religion, the terrorists don't follow the true meaning of Islam. I'm not going to go into a huge tangent over religion on my blog, just know that all religions are peaceful (although I'm not so sure about the Jedi). Anyway, daddy also got two books, a guide to Islam and the Quran (the Islamic version of the Bible).

He also got a kit that shows how to make a book.

This is a book making kit, it shows how to fold pages, make the covers, and bind the spine.

Daddy is going to scan everything, so he can make more of them.

Bunfest

Well, Sunday was a lot of fun. But before I go into that, I want to do a couple of other things.

Yesterday (September 12th) is my grandma's birthday, so I want to wish her a very hoppy birthday.

Okay, now that that is all out of the way I can go on to tell you all about my exciting weekend. We'll start with Saturday, that was the day of the Beach Celtic Festival. Granty Flo did get there, but rather late, and Uncle Tim came by for a few minutes to say hi. Granty Flo takes Wheel-Trans too, and she had scheduled her pickup time for exactly the same time as us, which was 1730 (5:30pm), but our ride came first about 15 minutes before our pickup time, which left granty Flo sitting on the sidewalk waiting for her ride to show up. There wasn't much we could do for her, our destinations were in opposite directions, daddy called her yesterday and she did get home safely

Now for my favorite day of the weekend, BUNDAY!!!!! errrr Sunday!!!! Which was the 10th annual BUNFEST!!!!!!!!!!!
It was SUPER AWESOME, we were picked up by daddy's friend, my new uncle Andrew in his car. It took a few minutes to get everything loaded, with a little bit of "trunk Tetris" we managed to fit my stroller in there. I also rode in the carseat I mentioned in my last blog, it was kind of scary at first, but daddy put it in a spot where I could see him and he could see me.

This is an old picture of Sunki in the carseat, but you get the idea

When we got to Bunfest, uncle Andrew gave daddy the $60 he owed him, and daddy gave me $20 to spend on toys (but I had to buy two of every toy so that Chewbacca got a toy too). Daddy also said that he would buy the treats for us, more on the toys and treats later.

This year daddy didn't volunteer, and managed to get through the day without any of the major problems he had in previous years. He thinks it's due to the increase in the medication his doctor gave him, and not having to worry about producing anything. We might try to volunteer, doing the same job as previous years (taking pictures and video for my blog) only scaling back on everything and not trying to stay the whole day.

Okay, now I get to show everyone our haul from Bunfest.

I bought:

2 willowballs

2 willowrings

2 seagrass mats

Daddy bought

1 box banana muffin cookies (our favorites)

1 bag of willow leaves and twigs

4 bags of oat groats

Daddy also had professional pictures taken of me, we don't have those yet, but they should come in an email fairly soon. In the mean time here is a picture of Sunki in his professional picture taken quite some time ago.

He's wearing his supercape in this picture.

When I got my picture done I had my Darth Vader shirt on (I hope the lady got that in at least one picture).

But daddy did take a couple of pictures of me that I can share with everyone right now.

No bunny wants to play with me, I need treats to cheer up with.

This was so boring, nothing to advise daddy on what to do.

 The wonderful lady that runs Bunfest took a really great picture of daddy, she didn't get me in the picture, but she did get my stroller.

Daddy had to use a computer trick to get this picture.

But, as you can see from these pictures, me and daddy had on our matching t-shirts.

Fan Expo and other events

Last Sunday (September 3rd) me and daddy went to Fan Expo again, unlike the previous few years we went on our own. Sure it was a little scary for daddy at first, but he was excited to show off his new costume.

Now, before I go into details about what happened on Sunday, I should tell you about the adventure we had last Thursday. Me and daddy took Wheel-Trans ALL the way out to almost where grandma lives, there's a costume shop out there that has the helmet daddy likes, then we went all the way back across the city to another bunch of stores. Daddy picked up some special paint, and some brushes, and picked up some more food for me and Chewie and a new food bin (one doesn't hold enough food for the two of us for a month).

This is what the helmet looks like fresh out of the package.

Side view of the same helmet

Now, from Thursday until Saturday night daddy worked on painting the helmet to match his new costume.

That's daddy's new costume on the left, it's still a Mandalorian bounty hunter, only camouflaged.

The other guy standing with daddy is Lando Calrissian, in the words of Han Solo "He's a card player, gambler, scoundrel."

Daddy also picked up a few new weapons for his costumes, you see the two red things sticking up, those are two throwing knives.

Not to worry, they're plastic

He also added a shirken to his bladed weapons.

This is what it looked like when daddy bought it.

This is what it looks like after daddy painted it.

We also got a picture with a slimy space slug

I don't like that creature, the slug or the monkey looking thing

We also came across some of the leading ladies from Star Wars

These girls are just missing one, Padme, then it would be a complete set.

From right to left, Jyn Erso (Rogue One), Princess Leia Organa-Solo, and two Rey's, the one with the lightsaber is from Force Awakens, and the one with the staff is from later in the same movie when she goes in search of Luke Skywalker.

Speaking of Star Wars movies and new creatures, episode 8 The Last Jedi has a new critter.

This thing here is a Porg, they inhabit the island that Luke is on.

Oh, and a new droid.

This is BB-9E a First Order BB unit (like BB-8) only so much cooler.

I'm not sure how either of these things fit into the movie, but there's only 99 more days until we find out.

The two spinners that daddy had ordered (and hoped would be here for Fan Expo) arrived on Wednesday, 3 days after what daddy wanted them for. Oh, well, at least they are here now and daddy can get to work making them fit with his costumes.

All three spinners that will go with daddy's costumes, the top two are the new ones.

Daddy painted them to fit better with the theme of his costume, he's just got to put some finishing touches to them.

On Saturday me and daddy are going to the Beach Celtic Festival, Granty Flo is going to come too, and Uncle Tim says he may pop around too.

But, it's Sunday I'm really looking forward to. Sunday is BUNFEST!!!!!!!!! 

The poster for the event.

Unlike previous years, we won't be volunteering this year, we're just going for the fun (and to get toys and treats). And daddy's new friend (that we met last year at Fan Expo, introduced by uncle Tim) is going to drive us there and back and hang out with us until it's time to go. But just because we aren't covering Bunfest officially this year, we're still going to get lots of pictures for this blog.

Oh, and daddy says I may have to ride in the carseat that Sunki had, I'm not sure about that idea, I like cuddling with daddy when we go around town and I can't sit in my stroller.
