More Universal Fun

I have to do one last post on Universal Studios. It was really fun. Here are some of our favorite moments.


Landon has a talk with Scooby Doo.Lots of fun characters to see. I sat through the Barney show twice....actually wasn't too bad.
There were lots of movie sets. I wasn't too sure about all of them, but was fun to see.

Here is the train from Back to the Future.
The famous car from Back to The Future.
Had to put this one in from the hotel. We had to get the kids to sleep in separate beds, then transfer them all to one bed each night. My three sleeping beauties!!
My favorite ride was the Mummy, which was one of the indoor roller coaster type rides. Very cool!! Only bad thing was that the kids were scarred in the line for the baby swap. Darin went on the Simpsons ride but hated it. We both stood in Coke bottle "cooling stations," which were really cool. They were funny, though because people they were automated, and people didn't really know what to do-you just had to stand there. Very refreshing on an extremely hot day!!

Fun with Madagascar characters. Spencer was not too happy. The first picture we took he had his face buried in Darin's chest. He wasn't so keen on the characters....also was really tired and cranky at this point as it was the very end of the day.
Jaws!!

One of the days we got there we were approached to be a TV critic. They took us to a room where we watched a raw version of a new show and had to sit and do a questionnaire after. We watched the show "Trauma" I really liked it, but Darin hated it. We each go $15.00 cash each when we were done! I was a little nervous at first because we had to have headphones and were faced away from the kids for over an hour, but they watched a movie and it was okay.

We had such a fun time at Universal. It is a fun place, but my advice is to save it for when your kids are older. My kids did love Barney, the curious George area, the animal actors show, and a Fivel goes West play area, but the rest of it was way to old.

Overall really fun place!1
