Day 3- Universal Islands of Adventure

The girls are all geared up for the third day in a row of amusement park fun. This was taken in the hotel room before we left that morning.
Islands of Adventure was split into themed "islands." There different "islands" were marvel superheroes, toon-something, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Dr. Seuss land, and one more that had a Greek Mt. Olympus type look. This picture was obviously taken in Jurassic Park. There was a boat ride in this area of the park that was patterned after the tour in the movie that the girls said they liked. They admitted to us after we got on it for the second time that they didn't like it so much because it was scary.
I was the only one in the group excited about the Harry Potter island. It was kind of fun feeling like I stepped into the set of the movie.


I even got to try some butterbeer. So delicious.

The girls obviously loved Dr. Seuss land the most. Their favorite ride was the Cat in the Hat ride. They also enjoyed the "one fish..." ride and the "If I ran the Zoo" play area complete with water toys to soak themselves in (they played there while I went back to ride the Harry Potter ride alone).


They Caro-seuss-el was kind of fun too.

We had a lot of fun on our trip and we were so glad that we could take the girls to Orlando and watch them having so much fun. Besides the amusement parks, we also enjoyed swimming in the hotel pools and eating at fun places (like the McDonald's with the largest playland in the world). Florida was really hot and humid and we were happy to return to the dryer climate in Utah. It is also nice to get back into a routine again.
