Universal Studios...

Okay, we've been home for 4 days, I'm buried in laundry but I'm getting the itch to post some pictures from our trip. (Pics from Christmas will have to come later...lol)


Most of you know we just took a trip to Florida. Brian had to work a few days, and my Dad and Sharon joined us there.


On Sunday we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for the first time. We definitely didn't have enough time to experience both parks fully - but we got a good taste of each one. It was only 45 degrees that day. We needed hats and gloves, but of course didn't bring them to FLORIDA with us - who would have thought? At least it wasn't the -18F that they had back home. :)


We did a Terminator 3D show first. (even Lizzie! It was cool, but extremely scary - but we all made it through, with only a little whining from Erica) We saw a fun animal tricks show, saw some characters, did a Shrek 4D show, ate at NBA City, then we all went on Spiderman, then I found some rollercoasters (Hulk and Dueling Dragons - WOW) while Dad and the girls hit Suesstown. Then me and the girls found an less-strenuous roller coaster to finish out the day.


Okay...enough for today...here are some pics from Day #1...you can see cold, red noses. :)

Lizzie's Makeover

Elizabeth had a big day today. It started off with a haircut - getting 2-3 inches cut off and adding some layers.

And since she is now officially potty-trained, she was given the reward of getting her ears pierced. Only within the past couple days has she expressed interest in getting them...as she had been told, "It hurts". But she was ready and she did really well - only shed a few tears, and she's very proud.
