CALIFORNIA TRIP - DAY FOUR - UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

The Jurassic Park ride was a blast!!! Kyle and Carson went on the ride first and Carson loved it. Carson talked Parker into going on the ride with him and Ashleigh and me. The drop was incredible and the ride was so realistic and amazing. Maybe a little too realistic for Ashleigh...she was crying half way through the ride. This was one of my favorite rides of the trip and Carson and Parker really liked it as well.

Since I was finally taking pictures with my new camera I took a ton of pictures of the kids as we were waiting in line or for the older kids to ride. The picture of Katelynn was taken while Parker, Kyle, Carson, and Ashleigh rode the new Simpsons ride. Katelynn, Max, and I were waiting in the kid swap area. Parker loved the ride and I was able to go on it with him after he finished his first ride. It is a ride very similiar to Wild Artic or Star Tours but ten times better. This was Parker's favorite ride. The picure next to Katelynn was taken while we were watching for Kyle and Carson to take the huge plummet on Jurassic Park.

It was pretty rainy this day so when it started to pour we found refuge in the Curious George play area. It was alot of fun for the kids. They were able to shoot rubber balls out of cannon like guns. Ashleigh had a blast vacuuming up all the balls and once the vacuum was full it would shoot all the balls out from a huge volcano like thing in the middle of the room. There was a ball drop and lots of buckets for the kids to collect balls and carry them to the gun of their choice. The kids including Kyle had a great time in here.




We of course had to take pictures of the back lot tour which the kids found fascinating and also intense. The earthquake and shark scenes were very real to Max, Katelynn, and Ashleigh.


Max was pretending to be a mummy while we waited for Parker, Carson, and Kyle to finish riding the new Mummy ride. Carson and I were able to go on it once they finished up, but it was a little to intense for Parker.
