Universal Studios Hollywood

Disney isn't the only theme park around, you know. 

Emma and I spent the day at Universal Studios Hollywood this week, checking out a stunt show, a whole mess of rides and whatever this show that Dad loves is. 

Emma got a chance to pose with Poppy, but we both skipped on pictures with Beetlejuice, because, ew, no. 

But there were two big highlights: First was the Jurassic Park section, with all the dinosaurs. Luckily, I was wearing the right shirt for it. 

The Jurassic Park ride was a little scary, but not as scary as what Emma did with her new friend Kinsley a few moments later ...

Yeah, that was a lot. 

The other big deal was Harry Potter world, which had an honest-to-goodness Hogwarts school for us to tour. 

It was incredible. 

They also had a full Hogsmeade to walk around, with a Hogwarts Express pulling into the station. The conductor was pretty fun to talk to, but he couldn't answer a lot of my magic questions. 


Emma's favorite part was the Hippogriff roller coaster, which she went on four times. She probably would have gone on more, but the park did close after nine hours, and we really needed to get some sleep.

Wow, scary dinosaurs and Harry Potter? How fabulous. Looks like so much fun. How did Daddy hold on to his phone to take that video of you, Emma, on the roller coaster. That’s some impressive stuff, you gotta admit.
Love you all.
