monday at universal

Today we all got ufp and ready to go by 8:30 so we could be there right when the park opened. We made it a little later than we hoped but were still the pretty early. Mom had decided to rent a motor cart so that she could get around better. It worked out great for her and she was able to keep up with us without killing heraelf. We had decided to head straight for harry pottr world and the big ride there. "Harry Potter and the forbidden journey". It was a good move on our part as the wait was less than a half hour. Ella was tall enough to ride (thanks in part to some platform sandals we bought her at target on our way there). Wes had to sit out, so dad and mom waited in the child swap area while Kerri ella and i went on the ride. It waa great. You sat on a seat controlled by a hydrolic arm it moved around through a combo of video and animatronic sceanes. It was way cool. Kerri and i rode it a second time with dad. After that we grabbed a ride on the hippogryph roller coaster. Wes was big enough for this ride but was super scared and told us as we got off, " i dont like that ride!". Then we headed away from HP world towards jurassic park. We stopped to catch a bit of the durmstrang and beauxbetans demo and a glass of butter beer, then using the child swap, we all road the jurassic park river ride again. Then kerri and i took the kids on a "litle kids only" ride. You had to be under 52 " to ride or be with someone who was. Wes wa sstoked to ride the "flying" coaster. But was terrified once we started. He also told me he didnt like that ride either. Since the poor kid hadnt gotten to do any thing yet we went back to de seuss land and he got to ride the carosel 2 times and the fish ride once. After our breaks mom and dad took the kids to a play area while kerri and i went on the spiderman 3d adventure. We ended our day with a walk throught toon town
And the super hero area. Dad kerri and the kids went on the teacups type ride and then kerri and i went on the incredible hulk roller coaster(which was awesome). By then it was almost 6 pm and time for the park to close. We walked to the car and headed home. We had cici pizza for dinner on the way. Now time to relax my aching feet befor doing it all again tomprrow!!!

  1. We went to Universal last year and my kids loved it! K&K are really into roller coasters--they rode The Hulk 8 times I think. We really loved the HP ride, too. I just wish the line wouldn't have been so long so we could have ridden it again. Did you get soaked on the water ride? We did!
