We are still all okay. I had a rough afternoon yesterday-then I realized I'd forgotten my medicine. I took it late, and it worked. I think seeing pregnant women and sets of twins just caused me some stress and sadness. I'll get through it. I'm still happy to be here with the kids I have and watch them have fun.
We went to Hollywood Studios yesterday, rode the crazy, scary rides, ate double-dip mint chocolate chip ice cream cones, saw Mickey, Donald and Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, Mater and Lightning McQueen and got a little rained on-not too bad. The big rain came when we went back at night for the Wishes Fireworks-it really rained on us! We ran to the car after we got off the tram, and there was a smell in the car...was it us or the wet upholstery? Ick.
Today we went to Universal Studios. It was fun, better than I thought it'd be. It was un-Disney and not-so-sweet, but okay. Suess-land was cute, and Ethan and the kids loved the rides. There were several that they weren't tall enough for, so it's meant for a taller (grown-up) crowd. The two big roller coasters he had to be 54" to ride, and he's about 53-53.5", and they said it wasn't enough. He was soo disappointed. Mary Claire didn't want to go on anyway, so she didn't care. I felt bad for him, as he's a thrill-seeker. He did go on one alone, that I just couldn't handle. It was Dr. Doom's free fall or something. It was like Tower of Terror-free falling, and I got really scared yesterday, and didn't want to do it today! We'd bought express passes ($25 each for one wait-free ride on each ride, or $62 for unlimited line-free waiting on anything), so he walked right up, go on, and did it alone. It was a milestone that I wasn't ready for him to make. But he did it, and loved it.
We are resting, then back out for dinner and a night out. It's either swimming or Downtown Disney...they get to vote. : ) We're democratic like that. heehee
ps-more pix are in the Disney set, and I posted Universal Pix.
