Our super weekend

We spent the past weekend at Universal.  We drove down Saturday and spent a few hours at the park, then headed to the hotel so Kenneth wouldn't miss any football :)  I took the kids to the freezing cold swimming pool.  Emily splashed on the stairs since she forgot to bring her googles, she told me she couldn't swim.  Andrew headed straight for the water slide.  I think that was his first time going down a water slide, and he must have done it 50 times into the freezing pool!  He also met some teenage girlfriends, they would slide down and ask "is that little tiny boy your son? He is just the cutest thing!"

On Sunday, we headed to the park all day.  Andrew just loves it there!  Emily gets a bit bummed when she isn't tall enough for the fast rides, she just need another inch or so and she can get on most of them.  We got to meet lots of superheros and some villains too, like Megatron.


Andrew was jumping up and down to get to meet Captain America and Spiderman.  Emily is such a Tom boy (the girly-est Tom boy I ever met) so she was pretty excited about the super heroes too.





Emily was really wanting to meet Hulk, but he wasn't there, so she got her picture with his poster instead.


Rogue sought Emily out in the crowd, she thought Emily was pretty cute.  They talked for a while, Rogue asked Emily if she is a princess and she responded "NO!"  Emily told her all about her Jessie Halloween costume and her boots and hat.  Then they met up again about an hour later and chatted some more!


Andrew and Kenneth went on the Spiderman ride and Emily and I had to sit off because they won't let girls under 40" or pregnant ladies on :( Emily decided she needed some Dippin dots and I told her she had to wait until her dad got off the ride with all of our money.  She is really not very good at waiting.  So, she decided she wanted to meet Cyclops...then she asked him for money!  After introducing herself and telling him where she was from, she said "my dad took my brother on a ride and my mom doesn't have any money and I really want some dippin dots!"  It didn't work out like she had hoped, but we all got a good laugh!


After the long drive home, the kids did some coloring on the dining room table, they think they do their best work sitting ON the table ;)
