Day 3 of our Epic Adventure in Florida ~ Universal

These pictures are a bit out of order.
The first ones are from the end of the day, waiting for various siblings on Dr. Doom's Fear Fall.
Anthony was so tired of being in his stroller for most of the day, so we let him loose in this more contained area.
It was big enough of an area for him to freely roam for a bit.
And roam he did...usually to restricted areas!





This car is near the entrance to The Hulk roller coaster.



Anthony pointing to siblings riding on The Hulk.

Kelly posing.
He loved watching The Hulk!



Daniel, Maggie, and Lilly went on The Hulk.

Lilly with Kelly's and my winnings at the arcade-type area.

We had just been walking along, on our way to the next ride.

One of the game hosts saw our buttons, rushed over, and said that we could do all of the games once for free because we're a wish family.



Earlier in the day, the girls and I went to the La Ti Dah Spa at GKTW.







Kelly was upset after the picture because I wouldn't take another picture without her legs crossed.

I think it was Princess Diaries that explains that princesses don't cross their legs, they cross their ankles.





We each got an airbrush tattoo.

I normally don't allow tattoos of any kind, fake or not.


Lilly's sun

The Star Ceiling.

Kirsten, Rhema's star is just about in the center of this picture.

I couldn't get a clear shot of it, but did see it.

I tried sooo many shots to get it, but it didn't work!

More anoles outside our entryway.

Check out what's by our neighbor's trash.

The buzzard we saw each day on our drive out of the village.
The awesome design of the cement at the Universal parking garage.

When we first landed in Orlando, we noticed that the cement there has a lot of sparklies in it.

Cool trees at Universal

The awesome gate at Islands of Adventure.



Entrance to Seuss Landing

My favorite store to shop in, even though I'm not much of a Seuss fan.

This ended up being one of Anthony's favorite rides of the week.








At the entrance to the Lost Continent.

The children were so tired of me making them pose everywhere. :)


These were HUGE.




After Lost Continent was Hogwarts.

Very flirtatious conductor...called me a Weasely.

Hogwarts Castle. The overcast day was PERFECT, and it even rained on us here.

There were ravens perching on the castle regularly.

Great ambience.

The children loved the ride inside.

Here are the pictures from the games.

Kelly with her prize pig.





Anthony had fun with his etch-a-sketch from his wish granters for part of the time.

We didn't go on most rides because of his size, and because I didn't want to do anything that might scare him or hurt his spine. So, while we waited, he would read or play with his books and we would often go shopping.

Oh how I miss that place! I'm so bummed that we missed Islands of adventure. We had planned to do them both on the same day, but they closed early for grad night. I was so mad. It looks like you were right were we were. What number was your villa?
