Last Sunday, I took one for the team. The twins really wanted to go to Universal Studios but Amy and Aden did not so I took them. Amy and Aden had a nice quiet day.
This was only like 10 minutes from the hotel.
They rolled out the red carpet for us.
We thought it might be quiet there. Not!
Here we go!
Back to the Future!
It reminded us of Universal in Florida but much smaller.
Harry Potter!
Lots of snow and we were in short sleeves!
I love me some frozen Butterbeer.
Noah tried it for the first time.
The line for the Hogwarts Castle ride. We had fast passes, which was the best idea ever. The lines were from an hour to two hours for most rides. We didn't wait at all.
So cool!
The Simpsons land was cool.
Homer!
Noah's favorite spot. Mario Bros!
Bowser!
Beautiful day!
Here we go!
We raced Bowswer.
We found Mario and Luigi.
Props from the Jurassic Park movies.
This little guy was moving.
It's on 2 levels with huge escalators in between. This is a panoramic shot from one of the escalators.
We did the studio tour. I remember doing this as a kid.
Back to the Future clock tower!
New York set.
Uh oh! What's coming?
Jaws!
Help!
Flood!
Another flood in the subway station.
This was the set for Desperate Housewives.
Norman Bates was coming for us!
We finally got out of there and went to City Walk for lunch.
Meanwhile, somewhere else in LA, Amy and Aden were chilling.
Look at the price of gas!
We met Amy and Aden at cousin Larry's house.
Such a cool setup. Huge front and back yards.
Aden and Noah caught up.
Amy and Teddy bonded.
We got some basketball going.
All the cousins came over.
They brought in tacos for dinner. It was a beautiful night to eat outside.
Eli took a lemon from their tree. We had to get back and pack to go home
