Universal Studios

The highlight of our trip was Universal Studios. I wanted to go because I wanted to see Harry Potter World (whole post will be devoted to that!!). Maggie wanted to go to see Spider Man. Ben just wanted to go on the rides.
It was a perfect day, sunny and not too warm.   The kids were excited just walking up to the place!!!

The first thing we did was go on the Spider Man ride.  That was pretty much it for me.  Too much shaking around and reality in 3D.  Of course, everyone else loved it!!!  After that, we went on a water ride.  The warnings said "you may get wet".  What they meant was "you may get absolutely drenched, you might as well get in a bath of cold water".  There was no way you could avoid the tidal waves coming over the side or the people above us shooting water canons!!!  We had to stand in a drying box to try to dry off a bit.  After we were somewhat drier, Sam and the kids went on another water ride., Yeah, it's vacation and reason has no place in our day!!!!  They are on here (you can just see Sam).  Believe me, they were a lot drier on this ride than the last one....

We loved Jurassic Park.

This was just like the movie!!!!

We went on the Pteranodon ride.  We had to wait a while and it wasn't that long a ride, but it was worth it

Even though Ben insisted that he didn't want to go to Dr Seuss land, we probably went on more rides here than anything else!!!!

When everyone else was on the Spider Man ride, the Super Heroes got on their bikes and left.  Maggie would have loved to have seen them,

especially Spider Man!!!!

Of course, you can't end the day without face painting!!!!  Aren't they great?
