Universal Day 2

Last Wednesday, we headed back to Universal.  Ariel was with Bella and Kallie.  They immediately ran off.  
We did the Minions ride.  
You stand and shoot.  

Back to the Wicked exhibit.  Amy wanted to buy a shirt.  The twins were the Wizard!

The Jimmy Fallon ride is fun.  
The Blues Brothers!
ET!  It's a classic ride.  One of the oldest still around.  The twins don't really know who ET is.  
We took the train to the other park because the line for Hagrid's ride wasn't that bad.

We waited in line like 45 minutes.  Not too bad.  


Here we go! This might be the most fun ride here.  
We wandered around using our magic wands.  
They really work!  You look for those metal plates that Noah is standing on and you say the spell and things happen!
We headed out for lunch.  I've always wanted to try this place.  Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.  
These were the milkshakes Ariel had the other day.  Which to get?!?
Eli and I shared this one.  Eli ate the whole piece of cake.  
The sky got dark and it started raining.  
At least it was a warm rain.  

We checked out the model for of the new Universal Park opening in the Spring.  It looks amazing!
I then took the twins to Wonderworks in Orlando.  I've always wanted to check out the upside down building.  
What could this place be?  
It's a hands on science museum.  
Exactly what the boys love.  




Eli on a bed of nails.  
There were some neat things to do.  

A hurricane simulator.




They even had a ropes course!
Here they go!



Watch those lasers!

Back to the hotel to change and rest.  
Then back to Disney Springs to meet Ariel.  She was actually going to have dinner with us!
Amy and I went to this Irish Pub the night we got engaged 19 years ago!
It was super crowded for a random Wednesday night.  
The shops were fun.  
Ariel got her turn with Hedwig.  
It was snowing!  Even though it was a bit too warm.  lol.  

Everyone loves the owl!  Of course we got more donuts.  

It was a bit chilly but still so nice to be away from the real cold.  
Early Thursday morning, we headed for Orlando airport.  Before 6 am it was so packed, people were missing their flights because of the security line.  Luckily, we got through quickly.  
Eli had his friends to share the ride with.  


A quick 2 hours later we were home.  
Eli got right back to fort building.  
We brought back a Disney apple to share with Aden.  
Last Friday, Vicky came to play.  

Fionna slept over.  I'm not sure what these girls were up to.  Amy and I went to dinner with her parents.  Have a great weekend!
