Islands of Adventure!








Today we packed up the kids and headed to Islands of Adventure. It is a theme park that is the sister park to Universal Studios in Orlando. Can I just say our kids had the best time ever today!!! Rides sure have changed since we were kids. They have all these 3 and 4 D rides. Seriously Shrek in 4-D was so cool. You wear glasses and watch this show almost touch you, then your chair moves and blows water and air on you. At one point the Ogar farts and you feel air blow on your leg!

Charlie was tall enough for all but a few rides so he and John went off for a long time to do big kids stuff. Annie went on everything she was tall enough for. There was a Barney show that the girls adored. Although Audrey would have nothing to do with any of the characters we saw (Barney, Curious George, Scooby Doo...) but when you are only 2 feet tall a 6 foot purple dinosaur has got to be a little scary!!!

We had a great time with kids although we must have walked miles through the park. Spring Break in California isn't for a few more weeks and we didn't think to look but it is Spring Break for a lot of the Florida colleges so the park was a little crowded but that didn't stop us from having lots of fun.
