Day 5 - Universal Studios

Another jam packed day!  We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's, and then spent the rest of the day at Universal Studios.  Chef Mickey's was great.  After much debate, Mimi stayed with Jocelyn and Jace for the day.  They were all so exhausted and mom didn't feel great, neither did Jocelyn.  Jocelyn and Jace also weren't tall enough to ride anything, so that was more of a reason for them to stay at the hotel and played.  Boy did they have fun though!  It was also good for Daphne to get to spend some time with most of the big kids.  Phoebe had to tag along too since mom went and she was still little.  One of the two best parts of Daphne's trip (even though she says she didn't have a favorite because everything was her favorite) was getting to see Hogwarts and riding the Harry Potter stuff.  Unfortunately she didn't get to ride many of those rides, but she still had the best time!  (No particular order again)
 Daphne with Chef Goofy.  She had to wear her headband proudly as long as she could that day.  It matched all the other big girls one with "I solemly swear I'm up to no good."






 Daphne got to meet Spiderman.  She was really hoping to meet more of the superheroes, but they were at other parts of the park. She did ride the Spiderman ride with only being a little scared.

 Watching the big kids ride one of the rapids type rides.  They got wet!
 Before all the water!
 Hogwarts!
 Daphne, Caitlin and I went into Dr. Seuss world and hung out for a good long time.  Daphne had to get new clothes after the Jurassic Park ride because she was so wet and so cold.  It wasn't the greatest weather in the morning, but cleared up for the afternoon.  She now has a whole new matching Universal Studios outfit.




 She loved having that mostly one-on-one time with us.
 Jocelyn and Jace had an amazing time playing in the pools and at the beaches at the hotel.
 Gringotts.  This was so cool.  Daphne and daddy also went into Olivanders to pick out her and Jocelyn a wand.  The store was set up exactly like in the movies/books, so that was awesome.  The only downside we had to this (besides Daphne being a little short), was that this area was packed.  The next time we go, we will have to make sure this part is a little less crowded.  We did get to have some good Butterbeer though.
 Daphne got to meet Gru
 Jocelyn was obviously exhausted after playing all day at the pool with Jace and Mimi.
