Universal Day #5

Wednesday -Day 5 we got to spend at Universal Studio's. And it was adults only!!!! Grandma and Grandpa graciously stayed at the condo and had a Grandparents day with all 5 girls so we could have an adult day to ourselves. 

We had a great time. We got there almost as soon as they opened after a quick trip to CVS pharmacy. Diane, Jason and I all needed some cold medicine to make it through the day. 

So, as soon as we got there we headed to the back to go see the Happy Potter exhibit and we were glad we did. It got busy really quick. 

But, we did to spend some time in Hogsmead, 


We saw the Hogwarts Express.


More Hogsmead.





Isn't it beautiful? 
Then we went on the rides. We went on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I was honestly scared. I hate roller coasters so I held on for dear life and had my eyes closed the whole time. Brian, Diane and Jason said it was pretty cool though. But, I made a deal with Brian, for every roller coaster I went on I got to get a T-shirt for the girls. You will get to see pictures of the girls in those later!

We also went on another Harry Potter roller coaster there, T-shirt #2 Check!


Us with the castles in the background.


And our dates for the day!




Us in our 3-D glasses for the Spider Man roller coaster. T-shirt #3 Check!!!!


We also went on some less intense rides in the Dr. Seuss area. It was really cool and next time we are going to bring the kids here! It was a lot less busy and less wait time for the rides.

Yea, someone didn't like my ride choice to go on the Dr. Seuss train ride.





Then we went on the Cat in the Hat ride, it was just like the book and very cute. 



Then they yelled at me about having my camera out and something about no flash photography....I just wanted my pictures people!!!

We had a great time though and can't wait to go back.

Overall, our trip was a huge success!!!! The girls all behaved really well, we only had a few minor meltdown and we had lots of great family time. 

So what's next for this Timmer family??? 

Well, our house is officially for sale, so if you know anyone who is in the market to buy a house close to St. Louis, Missouri, let me know. And next month we are going to be hosting our Friends Winter Weekend Getaway, which is going to be a LOT of fun. And after that, March will be here and well, we will hopefully be moving. It's going to be crazy busy time so say a prayer for us that our house sells quickly and that when the time comes we can get everything and everyone moved to South Haven Michigan!!!!!
