Universal Studios

 We finally made it to Universal Studios here in Singapore.  It is still not completely finished but I would say it is 90% done.  It is a small park compared to ones back home but it was perfect size for our first outing to a theme park.

 We have driven by this castle many times and the girls have been begging to see it.  When Bryce got up close to it she was in absolute heaven.  She kept looking for Disney Princesses.  I thought she might be disappointed when she found out the castle was from Shrek but she wasn't.

Inside the castle was a 4-D Shrek ride.  All the kids were sitting in their chairs with their glasses on enjoying the show when all of a sudden a large spider dangled in front of us.  Layne threw her glasses off faster than the speed of light.  She thought the spider was really coming at her.  Needless to say she did not put the glasses back on the rest of the ride.  Other than that they enjoyed the castle.


We also took a jeep ride through the desert from the movie The Mummy.  It was an easy non-scary ride.  No one tried to jump out.

 Graham was tall enough to ride the Mummy roller coaster.  It was his first real roller coaster.  He said it wasn't too scary.  However, when I asked him if he wanted to go again, this time with me, he declined.  It may have been scarier than he let on.

The last ride of the day was a water ride.  We just assumed we all could go on it.  However, when we went to get in line they made us measure Bryce.  She wasn't tall enough...sigh.  So, Brian took Graham and Layne on the ride and I took Bryce on another plus I through in some ice cream. 

And this is what they looked like on the way out...tired but happy!
