Universal Studios~ Day 2

We got a late start to the parks today.  We got there around 10:30 this morning.  We decided to go to the main Universal Studios, and go back to Islands of Adventure/Wizarding World on Thursday before we leave on Friday morning.

Entering the park....




Makenzie balancing the globe on her finger.... such talent.:-)


Our first ride was The Mummy ride.  We rode it several times the last time we came- 6 years ago.  The girls loved it.  Mason... not so much.  But he was a real trooper today, and decided to face his fears and keep up with us.


This cute little Egyptian eye candy was waiting for us when we got off the ride.... 


Waiting in line for the Mummy




Again... proof that I really was on this trip:-)

Stan had to do a conference call for work today at 2:30, so he and Mason headed back to the condo at 1:15.  They got back to the park at 4:00, and while they were gone, the girls and I ate lunch and rode and rode and rode.....

YOLO....You Only Live Once

Even though I am not a fan of The Simpson's,  we had to go and explore this new part of the park... at least new since we've been there.  As much as I hate to admit it, it was pretty darn funny and was enjoyable.  When Stan got back from his work obligation, Madison talked him in to riding this.  It made him sick.  Sorry Stan :-(

Next stop... Bikini Bottom and Spongebob. 







Hugs for Patrick.   Mason got his picture with Spongebob, but it's on Stan's phone.  Hopefully, I can post it soon.  Mason was pretty excited!


Stan and I were probably more excited than he was about this one.  Scooby just isn't as popular anymore.  That's too bad!!

We rode a great rollercoaster today.  More about those later. 

 Another great day as a family!!

Really enjoyed your blog Amy! Our family was there last year and spent 4 days at those 2 parks (way too much) but loved it. I rode the Harry Potter one that you felt nauseous TWICE in a row and it took me about 2 hours to shake the nausea. We loved the parks- they were a ton of fun. Hope you ride that one that goes straight up in the air- its a trip. Tell Stan he is about 2 or three more rollercoaster rides before his back starts hurting....

We do Day 4 tomorrow. It'll be enough for me. Sad to say.....
