Universal Studios!!

One of the days that we were in California we decided to drive to Universal Studios. (Its been a very long time since I have been there and the last time I was there it was not real cool) It has changed a lot since last time. I was very impressed. There were so many cool shows that you could go to, and the tram ride was really neat (more about that at later on in this post) plus there were so many characters walking around (some we got pictures with) and a few more photo opps. Anyway, we had a great time at Universal Studios!
Just before we entered Universal!!
There at Universal they have several shows going on throughout the day and one of the many shows that we saw was The Blues Brothers. Well as part of their show they call kids from out of the audience and have them come up on stage and dance with them. So both of the boys were called to go up on stage and dance. At first Kode did not want to go but once he and Bry got up there along with other children he relaxed and began to dance. It was pretty neat to see them up there on stage!
This picture is of the boys (well actually all of us) on the tram to go and see where they film most of the movies there at Universal Studios. That was a really cool experience. Part of the ride is in 3D now so you had to wear the silly glasses. I think that the boys really enjoyed this tour!
Throughout the whole park they had lots of fun people to take photo's with. My mom and I decided it would be fun to have a picture standing next to Marlyn Monroe and then Shawn, I and Bry wanted a picture with the Frankenstein.
The boys thought that these mopeds were pretty cool. So I had to have a picture of them.

After spending the day at Universal Studios we walked the mini mall area that they have outside of Universal then we ate dinner at a really fancy but very neat restaurant. (they have mechanical bulls there that you could ride, and small fire pits that you could roast marshmallows at) Everyone had a little something different to eat and the food was great. Shawn ordered a margarita (they called it the bull rider) to drink and when it came out it was in a craft container. (he said he has never drank out of a craft container before) Then when we were all done eating dinner they brought out a HUGE thing of cotton candy. The boys loved that! (sorry no pictures of Kode. He was throwing a fit about going to this restaurant and he didn't want any pictures taken)
All in all we had a great day at Universal Studios!! I would defiantly go back there again!!
