Universal Studios and stuff

Tim had last week off for spring Break. We decided to go have some fun. We went to Universal Studios for two days and had a blast! The kids did a lot better than we thought they would. :)



We saw the Cat in the Hat. Audrey didn't want to get too close though...




RRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!




Spring is in bloom. Thought this tree was gorgeous!


They had a Dr Seuss area for little kids. We had a lot of fun there. We discovered that Audrey likes rides a lot more than we do.



Cool Carousel!


There was a lever inside this ride so you could chose when you wanted to go up and down. (Audrey had fun!!!). Needless to say, we got a bit wet!



Cool gadgets to explore.



We thought this was awesome! There were animals carved in the bushes all over.



Cool fountain/mountain thing. There was a restaurant inside.

Here is where the real fun began... at HARRY POTTER WORLD!!! This park was packed (as I am sure you can tell).


Hogwarts Castle


Some performers



Hogwarts Express



Hogsmeade



We had so much fun at Harry Potter World! We got to eat at the Three Broomsticks, had some Butterbeer, went to Honeydukes, ate a chocolate frog, and lots of other stuff. We got brave and went on the ride in the castle which was REALLY scarey. Moaning Myrtle came out while I was in the loo. It was just so well done. We had a blast!

For any Simpson's fans, here are some pix we got of the Simpson's area...




The ads for these items were in the windows of the Kwik-E-Mart. Tim loved it!

The following are just some random shots of the kids.






Lincoln is all boy and really likes his car.



Audrey falls asleep waiting for dinner sometimes. It makes a laugh really hard!

Looks like a good time was had by all. So glad you took advantage of the time off at spring break. Wow! I can't believe how much Lincoln has grown since January!

First of all, I'm really jealous that you're in shorts. Second, we have a double stroller like that, and we just love it! It' so nice!

I'm glad you guys got to get out and do something fun. Maybe we'll come visit you one of these times and make you go again.

Also, your kids are getting so big! I love seeing the pictures of them. I can't believe how much Anne and Lincoln look alike. Maybe it's just in my head because she's the only one of my kids that looks like a Strong.

Lincoln is gettin so big. His hair has really grown out too. I love that Moaning Myrtle came out while in the potty. That is so funny. It looks like you had a blast.
