Always an Adventure

The McMullens fall break gives us an excuse each year to ditch school and work and visit Disney. This year we opted for a park we hadn't visited yet: Islands of Adventure.

First, we adventured in Super Hero land. We thought for sure this would be Grant's favorite but between being too shy to meet Spiderman and too scared on the 3-D Spiderman ride, he proved that theory wrong. He was most content to just stare at the larger than life graphic art.The rest of us loved the Spiderman ride. It was my fave of the park.Jurassic Park was hot and humid and full of life life dinosaurs. Really, they were truly life like.We would highly recommend the Jurassic Park River Adventure - more realistic life size dinosaurs that ends with a near miss by a screaming T rex. Grant kept his head buried the whole time while I covered his ears. Good times.

He was cool with this neat slide though.The biggest, fastest, coolest rides were still no match for the excitement of an inch worm stuck to a pair of shorts.The wet rides were the kids faves. Donna and I were lamenting our decision to ride one after we had to walk around w/ wet underwear the rest of the day.Even if it had been a substantial injury, I don't think it would have stopped her.And in case you were confused...Dr. Seussland...Two of our favorite things...Is that the Lorax I see in the Truffela trees?And no Dr Seuss trip would be complete w/o meeting Mr. Grinch.
