This group of us decided to go to Islands of Adventure for the day, while the others went to the beach again. It is part of Universal Studios and we were excited to see the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It did not disappoint!
It was so well done, it was like being tranported into the books. I couldn't stop smiling.

Cam felt so big because he could go on this hippogriff roller coaster.
Peeking in the windows at Honeydukes.
We should have left our lunch in the car and eaten in the Three Broomsticks. It was so cute inside.
The boys loved looking at the wands and I so wanted to tell them each to pick one out, but I couldn't stand the thought of dropping $125 on fancy sticks so we bought a post card instead. We are awesome. Matt did sneek back later and bought some of the fun treats to give them for Christmas, like a chocolate frog, every flavor beans and fudge flies.
The mandrakes in the greenhouse.
On our way to try the dueling dragons.
DELICIOUS!
This ride was our big mistake of the day. It said 15 minutes so we got in line and I think almost an hour later we got off and let me tell you, that ride was NOT worth the wait. It wasted so much time and we lost Nate in the meantime and then there weren't lines in the other areas of the park. Oh well.
The kids got to meet the Superheros.
Nate's favorite ride of the week--Incredible Hulk
We got SO much wetter than we expected. No one got off that ride unscathed. We were so happy that we put our shoes in the center.
How cute is that?
