I know you have all been sitting on the edges of your seats waiting to see another exciting day of our trip! Sorry for the delay! Day Three (if you missed day one and two you can check them out here) was filled with Super Heros, Wizards, and Whos! We had a wonderful time at Universal Studios. Before we went on this trip we had decided that we were going to let the kids control the trip, after all this trip was for them, for everything they had put up with, and everything they had gone through!
So the second we got into Universal these kids took the map and took charge!
Walking into all the fun we had to take a minute and pose in front of each animal and everything they saw...
"WHO" ville
(Did you notice Faye...she was excited for this picture!)
We had a great time in Whoville. There was a Red Fish Blue Fish ride that you had to listen and follow instructions going up or down to ensure you didnt get wet...little did we know that at the end it was just a guessing game, so we got a little wet to start out with, but it was fun! And all the Whos they had walking around the park, I got a big kick out of them!
Then off to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! This was fun, it really looked like you were in the movies!
And we heard you can't visit without getting some "Butter Beer" so we tried a frozen "Butter Beer" it tasted to me somewhat like cream soda...but then again I only got one sip, because these two took it over! Whos trip is this anyways?
(I am sure if we would have let him that little guy...or should I say big guy in the side of the picture....would have drank it all too!)
Faye was our little thrill seeker on the trip! She was all for the roller coasters, and the crazy rides! She would tell us to hold her tight, but she would giggle and scream through the whole thing! This little Harry Potter rollercoaster she went on three different times! (again another reason that little pass we got came in handy)
She was bummed when she wasnt tall enough to ride some of the bigger Roller Coasters..Nick went on the Harry Potter ride, he said it was awesome....ever since I have had kids those crazy motion rides give me a headache after...but it was fun hearing Nick talk about it, it sounded amazing!
Dont ask me even what this is, but Faye needed a picture taken in it!
(or this)
Of course a minion...our family LOVES Despicable Me! I cannot even tell you how many times it has been played at our house!
Their best GRU impersonation
Nick and Mitchell went and saw Shrek 3D, so Faye and I had to waste some time...what else is a girl to do, we headed to the candy store and grabbed some chocolate!
And Dora showed up right across the street where we were sitting enjoying our chocolate, Faye was all excited to go meet her, until we actually got there, then she got shy!
Fievel's playground! The kids could have stayed here forever!
Also we went on the ET ride. I remember it from when I was younger, so I was so excited to take the kids on it with me! The plan was Mitchell and Faye would both ride the ride with me, and then they would go again with Nick! Well we went on the ride, and when we got off I asked them "Did you think that was fun?" They both replied with a very entergetic "YES" so then I said "are you ready to go again with Dad?" they quickly responded with "NO" I guess they didnt think it was as fun as they led me to believe!
Give Kids the World Village gave us a voucher for a photo. There wasnt really one that had five people in it but we loved what we were able to get with the three kids! This photo turned out perfect! The kids get a big kick out of it!
In case you couldnt tell: Mitchell is Shrek, Faye is Fiona, and Nixon is Lord Farquad
We ended the night by going back to the Village and swimming! Universal was filled with so much stuff, but a lot of it was stuff the kids weren't very interested in or big enough to ride, but we had a great time going swimming! Relaxing and playing!
Keeping true to her sense of fashion, Faye kept her headband and flower in while swimming.
Our little Beached Whale!
Dads are always more fun in the pool!
When we got back from swimming, showered and comfy, we found faye had made her own little bed and fallen asleep behind one of the chairs!
I guess the day wore her out more than we thought!
Next up.......Day 4: Animal Kingdom and Epcot.
