Should'a Had a Camera

Today I took my daily walk at lunchtime, rather than first thing in the morning. I had more "first of the day" things to do today, so it got bumped.

Now, I am kind of glad I did, or I wouldn't have seen it.

Three or four bus loads of kids were lunching at our local Discover Park. Many were wearing their Hope of America t-shirts, as today is the annual fifth grade performance of that program at the Marriot Center. If I recall correctly, the kids head down during the day and rehearse together and then parents bring them back to Provo for the performance.

But that wasn't the funny thing at the park.

Just off the parking lot area, a little ways form the buses, was a guy dressed to the nines, as a Star Wars Storm Trooper--minus the weapon. He was chatting with a small ring of kids.

What?!

Yes. That is what I saw. And it made me smile, despite the weird randomness of it. After all, today is May the Fourth.
