Good Friends, Good Music, Good Morning

Friday Night was a blast! Sarah's cousin Beth had never been so we took her on TWISTER first
...then THE MUMMY!
That is my favorite ride...it starts out like Pirates of The Caribbean, it then reminds me of The Haunted Mansion, then it's alot like Rockin' Roller Coaster but it is over too fast!

We then ate at Finnegan's and Tyler ran back & forth between the stages & his food.


As you can see BETH is a stitch & fits right in with our little group! She kept us laughing every time I took a picture with her poses!

After dinner Kristin & I stopped at Starbuck's, I had to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte even though it was about 85 degrees out still.
I have realized I am getting old because all the noise in the lines hurts my ears! Sarah had run to the First Aid to get earplugs for herself & ibuprofen for my headache from the noise of the teenagers in the lines.

There was still an hour to go before the Newsboys took the stage so we headed over to try to get nice & close.....HAHAHAHAH
It was a LITERAL WALL of bodies all the way back to the lighting tent... we found a small area near the middle where we could breathe and maybe do a little jumping.

It NEVER ceases to move me when I see this many people come & worship GOD, multi-generations/race/nationality it is AMAZING!

When they came out on the catwalk to the mini stage we found out we were closer than we expected!

Peter, Paul, Duncan & Jeff

Sarah got one of Duncan's drumsticks after the concert so she & Sahara posed with Peter's cocktail set


I hope to post more later & hopefully add that short vid clip...The glass repair guy is here & I have to elevate my foot since I broke my toe yesterday

Calling In for a Mental Health Day

Nothing like running away to the Theme Parks to take a break from the daily grind. Thanks for the idea Dorenda!


We spent the day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure....with a brief intermission at Margaritaville for a Cheeseburger in Paradise & Top Shelf Margarita.

Sahara & Madison (oh & that Green Guy)



Sahara got to be an actor in the Disaster Movie Ride that features Christopher Walken and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson





We had to get photo's with "Bruce" from Jaws




And of course 'The Simpsons Ride'


Which I have to admit WAS AWESOME!

The hit of Islands of Adventure was Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
*it was near 100 degrees* so getting soaked felt wonderful....
of course it clouded up after our second turn on the ride...lol

AND the Mystic Fountain


The girls were eating their baby scorpion suckers (yes real scorpions inside)



Tyler has decided being the fountain is the job he wants in October. . .


Take a Mental Health Day!!!
