Universal Studios

Friday July 6 was our first day at one of the huge theme parks in Orlando.  Kevin and family had season passes to Universal Studios and a friend of ours from here in Cayman had taken one of Arianna's friends to it earlier in the year and raved about Seuss land so we were looking forward to the visit.  It was very hot that day and that definitely affected everyones energy level including Arianna. Still Arianna was able to do the Seuss Carousel, Seuss Trolley, Cat in the Hat Ride, One Fish-Two Fish, catch a show with the Seuss characters, watch a dinosaur egg hatch in Jurassic Park and even patiently watch the holograms in the Harry Potter ride line. 

We broke up the day by leaving the park around 1 for lunch and Arianna's nap then returning around 3:30 for a second session.  During the evening visit we saw the show in Suess land and she got to dance with Thing 1 and hug the Lorax and Cat in the Hat.  Then we went back to Hogsmeade and got some butterbeer which Arianna thought was awesome and proceeded to drink from everyones cup.  That evening Arianna got to do a slumber party with Grandma, Uncles Kevin and Alex, Aunt Kristy and her cousins Scott and Kelsey while Katie and I went out and did some shopping and had a nice dinner together.
