Universal Studios

 Luke came out to visit for 10 days.  Day 1, kids with their wands getting ready for Universal Studios tomorrow.  We told Hailey 6 months ago she couldn't go unless she started reading Harry Potter.

 Hailey put her outfit out the night before, she could hardly sleep.  She is obsessed with Harry Potter now and wants to watch all the movies

 Jesse made the kids jump out of the car on the way to the freeway to get a pokemon at 6:30am!

Jesse took the kids, I didn't feel worthy since I'm not into Harry Potter.  They had no idea what to expect, here they are seconds after valeting the car

 At the park before it opened. 

 The only way to go in the summertime is VIP 

 morning refreshments for VIPs only

The wand shop where they "fixed" our wands

 Hailey found her Halloween costume, it's all she talks about

Jurassic Park ride.  With VIP passes they never had to wait in line, ever!  Totally worth it

 The wands would do magic things around the park

The Owlery

Hogwarts Express

Hailey just loved shopping and wandering around Hogsmead, so much to see

Found the boys!  They went on their own for a few hours

 The boys wanted to go on this kiddie ride and cut in front of all the moms with their strollers and toddlers.  Jesse refused to go

 the cups read- Hailey, Grandma's Angle and  Shannon

 The kids really wanted this giant donut for dessert, longest line of the day was to purchase it.  Only time their VIP status didn't work

 Getting ready for the Harry Potter light show that just opened a few days ago

Stayed until the parked closed

They didn't leave the park until 10:15pm!  A total of 14 1/2 hours in the park.
Jesse said that the Harry Potter world was amazing and that the VIP status made the day so enjoyable
