Day #4- Universal Studios

Monday September 19, 2011

We woke up Monday morning and went to Universal Studios. We left the babies at the hotel with my parents and took Kenzie along with us because she could ride all the rides!!

Well as we got to Universal Studios we instantly went on the Jurassic Park ride (which Kenzie ended up loving).

Then of course we rode the Mummy ride (kenzie couldn't ride this one because she was a little to short)
After that we went down to ride the back stage tour even though I have rode it a ton of times its still pretty fun to see everything again.

We also stopped at the kids water play area where Chad, Jeremy, Mark, Riley and Kenzie thought it would be fun to try and get each other wet!!

One of Rileys favorite things that we did was watch the Water World show, it was a really good show!! :D

Through out the day we road Jurassic Park 3 times and the Mummy 4 or 5 times it was super fun because that park was empty!! :D

Well check back later to hear about the rest of the trip!!

Day #3- Disneyland

Sunday September 18, 2011

We woke up super early to drive from Escondido to Disneyland, it took about an hour which wasn't bad. We couldn't check into our hotel until 4:00 so we parked in disney parking and then headed to Disneyland. (oh i also forgot to mention that David and Jen had baby Charles on the 17th)

Anna was so excited for Disneyland before we even got in because she could see Mickey stuff everywhere!! It was Halloween time at Disneyland so everything was all decked out for Halloween and the Characters were dressed in costume and everything! It was super fun going during Halloween time so Riley and I have decided we are going to have to hit Disneyland now for every season!!

Our first day At Disneyland we tried to hit as many characters as we could.  We made it to Mickeys house and Minnies house, we also saw Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. We tried to get Goofy a ton of time but man that guy is hard to get a picture with!! :D

We rode tons of rides with Anna and she loved them all, her favorite ended up being Buzz!! :D We also watched the Soundsational Parade, it was a really awsome they had all the characters with there movies theme song!! Disney ALWAYS knows how to put on the best parades and costumes!!

Later that night we tried to watch the Fantastmic show that disney does but Anna didn't really like it!!
So we went and walked around the stores and then watched the fireworks. But because its so chaotic after the shows they block things off so us older kids decided we would park Grandma and Grandpa on a bench with the 2 sleeping babies (anna and brandon) While us (Me Riley Jeremy Jaclyn and Mark) went and got on Big Thunder Railroad (my favorite) and Indiana Jones!! Then it was back to the Hotel for the night!!

All the babies were super exhausted by the end of the day that everyone slept really well (well Anna did at least)
