Amusement Park Weekend

 Can I tell you how much we loved Universal Studios, Island of Adventure?  Yep, we thought it was AWESOME!   The kids loved it so much because the rides were "thrill" type rides  Big roller coasters!  And, I loved it because the park was so well done.  I mean, it truly rivals Disneyland.  It's creative, well maintained and takes you away to a fantasy place.  I get why the twins love roller coasters.  They are 12.  It's all about speed and thrill.  And, being daring and senseless.  They are middle schoolers for petes sake.  But what about Avery...my 7 year old, soon to be in 2nd grader, she really shouldn't be allowed to LOVE roller coasters as much as she does.   She's tall enough for all the height restrictions and would most often seek out the "front car". So you see, I stand on the sidelines watching my lil family race through the air at record speeds, screaming and laughing with arms in the air.    It's all about the roller coaster for this group.



The Hulk rollercoaster was our first ride of the day. Followed up with Dr. Doom drop.

Thankfully, the park is filled with lots of water rides and little splash park sprayers all around. It was hot, but this was a fun cool down.

Suess landing.   So cute, this land was all about Dr. Suess.  Silly fun.

Zachy with Betty Boop.   Marvel landing. Comic-ville.

The wizardly world of Harry Potter.  This town was spectacular! 

We loved it.  All of it.  Thanks grandma and grandpa for coming with us.
