Universal Studios Hollywood

We were bad today. We skipped church to go to Universal Studios for "Grinchmas." I think everybody else had that same idea because the park was beyond packed. They have an offer for the 13 days of Christmas that if you buy a one day pass, you get an annual pass for next year FREE! We couldn't pass it up. But because it was so busy, we didn't get to see or do much. Luckily we took the Studio Tour first. It was very interesting. We visited a lot of sites and studios. We got to see Bates Motel, the cabin from the Great Outdoors, the street scenes from Back to the Future, Changling and Ghost Whisperer. The list goes on and on and on. We saw a lot. The boys weren't very interested in the tour especially when we drove into a lot where we got to experience an 8.3 earthquake. Water came crashing all around, cars and trucks flying at us and of-course shaking. It was almost too real and because of that, William sat on my lap the rest of the tour. On the other hand, he was really excited to see Jaws eat somebody.

We saw the Whos down in Who-Ville and then the Grinch came along. Harrison was surrounded by beautiful women.

Gaby's house from Wisteria Lane. I am a dork though. I took pictures of all of the houses on Wisteria lane-:)

William just had to find Alex, the lion from Madagascar. William thinks he is a lion most days. He pretends he is Alex so you can imagine how excited he was to meet him. And he wouldn't leave.

It was a lot of fun. I am glad we get to go back and see everything they have to offer.
