Universal Studios Califorina

It has FINALLY come ... on our way to Disneyland with the hole Peterson clan (It was our Christmas from Grandma Opal:) . Our family Devan & Nicoles family and Grandma Opal left a day before all the others. Kids were all pumped and excited to get on the road we only made it to about Santaquin and Ryker says "Mom are we almost there?" I looked at Chace and said really it's already starting ha ha what a LONG ride this is going to be . We stopped in St.George for lunch then back on the road.  Our next destination was Primm Nevada where we stayed the night. We woke up early the next day to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood at a good time sense it closed at 5.. We still had to stop a lot for potty breaks and diaper changes but we finally made it after a long ride in the car of " Are we there yet??"

It's been quite a few years sense I've been back to Universal and was sad to hear that the ET ride was no longer there! with that said we had fun going on the Jurassic park,Simpson's and the Mummy ride. We even hit a few cool shows Water World, Shrek 3D, behind the Sean's and the tram ride. I love seeing the excitement in Ryker, Kynlee, Baylie and even the babies Jenacee and Mackley when we came in sight of CHARACTERS ... even though Jenacee didn't want to get to close she still liked to see Her Dora and would wave to her :) so cute. Ryker's favorite characters that we saw were Hop and Shrek. We had a 2 day pass to Universal Studios and so on our way home from Disneyland we hit it again but this time grandma Opal didn't come with us:(

We spent a lot of time getting all the kids pictures drawn into cartoons . We all used the same guy he did a amazing job on all the pictures:) I'm sure his had was tired by the time he was through:) We even decided between us and Devan & Nicole to surprise Grandma Opal with one of her and Rob. He used my phone to look at the picture on Opal's face book. I think it turned out so cute and looks just like them. When we gave it to her she cried she LOVED it !!!
