Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure-Part 2! Harry Potter!

I really enjoyed visiting Hogsmeade! (The Harry Potter town). It was SO neat! They did a great job recreating it!
Kyle didn't want anything to so with it because of all the references to witchcraft and spells...so he and Ronnie went and played at the interactive fountain while Dr. Sweda and I explored the town! It was amazing!

I love that some of the chimneys are crooked!












all the wands

the book that bites!





Hogswart




so pretty!


look at the trunks!
Kyle & I did go on all the rides in Hogsmeade together. In fact, after the first few times on the Hogswart ride, we started going on as single riders and rode it about 6 times! There was NO wait that way and we had a great time.

Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure-Part 1

We spent the weekend at Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure this weekend! We had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! It was SO nice to get away and not have to think about anything! I'll just roll the pics!
 Kyle just LOVED all the little props set up for posing! I have some of these same pics from our vacation down to Florida when we were living in Nevada!! Amazing to see how Kyle has grown.




I thought this Christmas shop was so cute!!





The Oncelers House!

Truffula trees!




The Lost Continent



Poseidon's Lost Temple

LOL! This fountain kept spitting at Kyle. It kept calling him "green shirt kid" and was mocking everything he said or did. It was HILARIOUS!

love my boys!

so pretty!

An entire theme park and my boys want to play with the squirrel...figures!





Captain America!

This was one of my fav rides! So cool.

Kyle and I went on this one about ten times :)

He's a THING!

Islands of Adventure was, BY FAR, the best theme park I have ever been to...and I have been to them ALL multiple times. It was a BLAST!

Teaser Tuesday!





"The music began, and my heart raced to my throat. Though I felt a little childish admitting it, there was something about performances-plays, operas, and even some movies-that held me spellbound".


This is from "Swinging on a Star" (Weddings by Bella book #2) by Janice Thompson




Here's how it works!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

(FYI: I found the "Tuesday Teaser" on Should be Reading's blog).
