Hollywood studios

Sadly, Grandma Val had to return to freezing cold Edmonton on the 10th.  Luckily her flight wasn't super early, but it was right after breakfast.  Mike drove her to the airport after a sad goodbye.  we missed having her around, and I'm sure she missed us ;) and also the weather and relaxing. 

When Mike returned from the airport, we went to Hollywood Studios.  I find this is the least suited to their age category, and has some "movie set" tours of old movies that are older than me, as well as a couple of my favs, Tower of Terror and the Rockin Roller Coaster (which I never get to go on anymore).  But for a short day there are plenty of things to do:


Another Daddy and Paige only ride: Star Tours

Wreck it Ralph! We haven't seen the movie but the girls love the preview!
 I'm glad we went to the Indiana Jones show.  The girls really loved the explosions and the action, although Paige thought the people were really punching and shooting each other.  Good thing they explained about stunts, but it still required further explanation.

The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is still kicking around!

Honey I Shrunk the kids.  It was an absolute zoo so we left right away. 


A penny for the collection!
We decided to start a squished penny collection this year.  We bought a little souvenir book to hold them in.  You see them in various locations throughout the theme parks.

It was later in the day when we got home so we skipped Rose's nap but both girls were so tired that they went to bed at an unprecedented 6:30, right after dinner.

A little park and watching a show before dinner:
