supifam: Day 3 of Vacation

We could not wait to get back in the park Monday morning on day 3 of our vacation. We had the whole lower level to still do and a few shows. First up Shrek 4D it was adorable.

Then we were off to Harry Potter World again. Something about that land made me just want to hang out there all day! The kids loved it too we had a blast playing in the toy store and finding fun candies like a chocolate frogs, fudge flies and the kids favorite rock candy.

It was then to casting spells. The kids were pros by now and had fun following the map all on their own and showing other kids how to do it.

We watched a fun a capella group sing with frogs. Spencer loved it! I kind of got a head ach watching there mouths move so much. It's such a cool talent but can get annoying too lol!

It was starting to get pretty crowded so we decided to head down to the lower lot of the park. We had excellent timing that day because even though it was crowded we seemed to time where we were going against the crowd because the longest we waited on any ride was 15 minutes. The lower level takes like 10 minutes to get too you. You have to ride I think like 5 escalators down the view was really cool. Once down our first stop was the Jurassic Park ride. It had been 10 years since Spencer and I went on it and I was a little scared that it would be too much for the kids but the met the height requirements and were excited so we went for it.

It ended up being all of our favorite ride. It was so cool! The drop was exhilarating! It was huge and for sure scary but thrilling at the same time. We ended up going on it again right after we loved it so much.

The boys really wanted to go on Transformers and I had read that was very scary so Aubrey and I wanted to pass. I begged Carter to rethink his decision but his love for cars and being with daddy won and he went for it.

Aubrey and I were just going to hang out and people watch but then we went and checked out the sign for the Mummy ride. I thought it was another 3D or 4D movie screen kind of thing but after talking to the worker we found out it was a roller coaster. Aubrey was tall enough but we were both scared that it might be too much so we waited by the exit and asked other kids around her age. The conscience was that we should give it a try.

We jumped in line and had no idea what we were in for.

Well talk about a thrill ride! It was so fast, scary, crazy but still fun. I thought for sure I would have a very upset girl after that ride but I didn't she was smiling and said it was fun. It was kind of like Indiana Johns at Disneyland but faster and it goes backwards when you think it is over which was a huge shock. I was pretty scared! After that ride we met up with the boys and both kids wanted us to each try the other rides so Daddy went on The Mummy again with Aubrey (Carter was too short)

and I went on Transformers with Carter. I didn't think that one was that scary like I had read about but then again I just got of the scary Mummy ride.

After our rides we all got back together and meet the bad guy transformer.

We were all pretty hungry by this time and Jonny Rockets out on the City Walk was calling our name so we headed over there for lunch. So so so so good!

After lunch we went back to the hotel to relax a little. Carter bought a cool TRex to build as one of his souvenirs. After we got home we realized all Carter's souvenirs had to do with building I really think he will be an engineer like his daddy.

After some R&R we headed back to the park. On the parks map it had tips and one tip was to go to Harry Potter world in the evening to bet the crowd man were they right, it was empty. We almost had the whole land to ourselves it was awesome.

We got to go on the Hippogriff roller coaster 7 or 8 times in a row. This was a great trip because our kids were old enough to pretty much go on everything and they wanted to go on everything. It almost felt like we were just 4 friends hanging out it was really awesome. I was surprised at how independent Aubrey actually wanted to be. She would ask "can I go on this all by myself?" I think it was our 5 time riding the ride and she asked if she could be a single rider so we let her and she got paired up with another guy. She said it was so cool and that he was very nice. I did ride in front of her and dad in back so she wasn't that independent.

We then had dinner at Three Broomsticks in the park. I had a great chicken salad and spencer had a half a chicken with veggies and the kids gobbled down some good old Mac and Cheese.

and corn on the cobb

After dinner we raced over to the waterworks show but were too late and the doors were closed so instead we went back over to Minion area to play with the Minions they were hilarious and really goofy.
