Normally we would not have gone to the zoo in heat like this. But it was Star Wars Day today, so we truly didn't have a choice.
If those guys in costume could stand it, so could we!
Star Wars Day!
A perfect day to wear your metal bikini.
Boba Fett...
A good Imperial officer never shows his discomfort!
Seriously, can you imagine being in these costumes in this heat???
It was Star Wars Day, so naturally there were huge crowds. And long lines to take pictures with the characters... so Derek took pics of people we don't know.
These guys didn't mind the heat at all!
Deacon and one of his favorite Star Wars creatures. I can't remember what it's called, though, so I'll ask him later and post it in Comments!
Non-Star Wars creatures!
At first Derek thought this said "Tarkin". Hey, it was Star Wars Day.
MONKEYS!
RISE of the Planet of... soaring temperatures.
Heat rises, so I wonder if these guys' heads were hotter than their feet??
At lunch. Zoo food always tastes great, because your feet are SO tired. We recently showed the kids the "Cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger - CHIPS" sketch from Saturday Night Live, so they were excited when Daddy ordered a cheeseburger and chips. Deacon took this pic.
Predators emerging from their cave.
This guy never looked at the camera, but he was really cute anyway!
Keepin' cool in the shade.
Unlike these guys. Anakin looked about as happy about the heat as he did in Revenge of the Sith.
No, Maren, we're not buying you that large giraffe today. At least the gift shop was air conditioned.
A last pic... shorter lines = Alff kids/stormtrooper photo op! Always a pleasure to meet a member of the elite 501st.
So that's it! Didn't stay for the big Star Wars blu-ray presentation due to the heat, so you'll have to get all the breaking news on that front elsewhere. But it was fun, and now the AC blasting in our house feels gooood.

maybe they had their own little personal air conditioners under the costumes, otherwise, it beats me how they could stand that kind of heat!
