California Trip Day 9-Universal Studios

Mike paid extra so we could get into the park early. Only Harry Potter was open early, so that's what we did.

Our first ride was the main Harry Potter ride, I had to force Wesley to force on it. It ended up being his favorite ride. It was also Jaycee's favorite.
There was a smaller Harry Potter ride that we rode next. The kids did a couple of spells with their wands. (Mike purchased on eBay, and we borrowed Brody's.)
Then we went and did the Minion ride and a smaller Minion ride. By this time it was 9:20ish and already 98 degrees! We were already melting!
So we went and rode the city tour. Bensen was afraid to get on at first, but Mike kept him calm.
Then we went to the Famous Pets Show, where we ran into Mikes family.
We ate our sandwiches while we were waiting for the Pet show to start.
After the show me, Jaycee, Rylee, Logan, Sid, and Reese went to ride Jurassic Park. Now the temperate was 108 degrees. We waited in the longest line ever! It had to have been at least 2 hours! But felt more like 5! While we were in line the temperature got up to 111 degree!
While we waited in line Mike, Wes, Bensen, Viv, Sarah, Elsie, Grandma, and Grandpa went and played in the splash zone on the Silly Fun World.





Then they went over to Harry Potter and got Butter beers and did more spells.
After our too short ride on Jurassic Park, we went over to ride the Mummy, we tried the single rider line. (We learned while waiting in the never ending line, that if you are a single rider you wait like 10 minutes instead of eternity!) So we tried it. Jaycee and Reese were freaking out about having to ride alone. Luckily it worked out that Logan and Reese went together, and Jaycee and Rylee went together.
We were heading back to meet up with the others, we saw Mike on the escalators, I guess Bensen and Wesley really wanted to ride the escalator!
We went back dropped off Sarah's kids to her and went to Harry Potter to get me and Jaycee a frosted butter beer. I think they taste like cream soda floats. 
Then Jaycee and Wes did some more spells.
I was past ready to leave. It was way too hot for me, and my babies were all hot and sweaty!
So we took Elsie with us and left.
It took us about an hour and forty minutes to get back to our hotel. Then I went to get us some dinner from Red Robin. I got lost and what should have taken 10 minutes took me more like 30-40. Oops!
Bensen had started to rash a little the day before, but today it was so much worse!

Needless to say, but we stopped his medicine.
