Friday Oct 17-Universal Studios

Universal Studios

I was a bit disappointed with this park actually. We of course had a good time. But they do some crazy Halloween thing that they charge an extra $50 for, and they clear out the park at 6:00 to do it.

We seen quite a few characters though! Too bad we didn't think about bringing the autograph books here!

My mom has always really liked Lucy...so how fun that she is the first we run into.

But not far behind was Doc Brown from Back to the Future. He really enjoyed Landon. Kept telling him that he looked like a younger version of him...was he sure he wasn't him in the future some how?

And Tenley's favorite! We got to see Shrek! Courtney doesn't think he is as handsome as she used to (when she was 3 she was going to marry him) but she was still excited to see him.

We went over to the Shrek 4D show right after seeing him.

But standing in line, we seen Spongebob walk up. Landon bolted right out of line and ran for a hug. It was very cute!

Waiting in line....dad's can be so silly!

But so can sons!

More sharks....Landon climbed right in, but my camera wasn't ready. No fear anymore!

Ok fear reawoke. He wouldn't get near this guy without his grandma and sisters! Bailey wasn't going to be convinced to go closer though.

Universal does a fun tram ride. They take you through all kinds of different places and special effects.

Like how they blow up cars in the movies.

Earthquakes, Flash Floods, and Falling Bridges

We can to drive past Wisteria Lane, where they were currently filming Desperate Housewives. Too bad we didn't run into any of them.

Probably one of the best simulator rides ever was here. It was the Simpson's Ride. So great! If we had more time we would have rode it more!

And as we departed the ride, Homer and Bart were waiting for us. Bart really liked to make Landon laugh.

Funny how in a little boys mind, they look exactly how they want to! This little boy in particular was positive his mucles were this large!
