On Tuesday we drove 7 hours to Orlando. We're staying in a cute little cottage in Kissimmee.
We pulled into our drive way and saw a little deer family in the yard. Two adults and a baby.
On Wednesday we went to Universal's Island of Adventure. The first thing we did was get in line for Hagrid's Motorcycle Adventure. This line is always long, but we ended up waiting in one of the longest lines it had all day. We waited about 2 hours.
It was a roller coaster ride and Coleman wasn't sure he wanted to do it, but in the end decided he would try it and loved it. It was his favorite ride of the day. Everyone thought it was worth the wait (it was a little scary for me though:))
We saw Hagrid's house!
And Fang.
We went to Ollivanders next to watch the show and then Coleman and Kenzie bought wands.
They got the wands that let them do magic at certain spots in Hogsmead and Diagon Alley.

Kenzie wanted a chocolate frog for her treat. Doug and the big boys got butterbeer. Coleman got a milkshake on our way home.
Heading into Hogwarts.

Doug and Jordan rode the Jurassic Park water ride and got a little wet.
Then they rode another water ride and got a lot wet.
It was this ride. Doug said before going down the waterfall they went through smaller water falls that put waves into their boats.
Sitting on an egg.
The Grinch was there!
Buckbeak!
Doug and I waiting while the kids rode Harry Potter and Forbidden Journey. Kenzie and Coleman rode it over and over and over again in the single rider line.
We had such a fun day! Everyone's favorite rides were:
Coleman: Hagrid
Kenzie: Hagrid
Jordan: Velocicoaster
Jackson: Hulk
Doug: Hagrid
Me: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (even though I didn't feel great after riding it)
