florida vacation: day four-universal studios

This was our first time going to universal studios in florida, but we were really just there to see the magical world of Harry Potter!

There was the cutest little Seuss land for the little kids.

Halle loved seeing the Cat in the Hat book come to life in a ride. I think they should do that with more children's books.

The main attraction was Harry Potter. I could not believe how magical and realistic they made it look. I treasure those wonderful books and was thrilled to see this little world come alive.

Hogwarts Express.

Down Diagon Alley

Mom and the girls in front of Hogwarts

They had the most amazing simulation ride inside the castle and the castle itself was fantastic to look at as well. Wes and I wanted to spend more time inside just looking around. We had to try butter beer and the frozen version hit the spot on that hot day. We still dream about that drink.

Halle picked out her very own wand and ran around yelling curses.

There was a little roller coaster there that she went on about ten times.

The other parts of the park were great as well.

Again, Halle was tall enough to ride on the Jurassic Park ride, but probably wasn't emotionally ready for that one. She thought the T-Rex at the end was going to eat her.

And as always, Lily was there hanging out

We absolutely loved this park and all the fun rides for big and little kids.
