Butter Beer

For Christmas my dad treated the family to a crazy/fun trip to Florida. He made sure we hit all of the cool theme parks and then tour around were he grew up (Cocoa Beach, FL), which was really neat see as a 21 year old and not so much when I was 7... The day we flew in my padre sent Cari, Sean, Sam, me and Ryan right over to Universal studios, 2 hours before the park closed. The weather was nice and cool, all of the little kids and big crowds had left already, our hotel gave us free Fast Passes to the front of every line, we only had 2 hours to hit every single ride we possibly could, and we were in HEAVEN. Everyone was so giddy, sprinting to each ride and passing up all the lines (they were super short compared to a normal day, but we still felt cool using our fast passes to walk onto rides). The highlights of the night were: The Incredible Hulk roller-coaster (which we rode like 5 times), The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (you have to experience it. Such an amazing place.), and BUTTER BEER (tastes like you are drinking melted butter... that sounds disgusting... but dang ma, we couldn't get enough). I'll have to split the trip into a couple of posts because it was so action-packed!

Sam and I were stoked to finally escape the water roller coaster. We were running so fast to each ride and saw there was NO ONE on this one (I wonder why??), we didn't realize that we were about to get soaked...and then we were trapped.

I love this picture of Ryan because he is super pumped and it looks like he has a goofy short arm:)

Yep, more Butter Beer with our feast.

Watch out for the flying car!! Looking back at this picture, I wish I would've just tried to look cute like Ry...

PS That sweatshirt is Ryan's and apparently I looked like a hobo all night! ...But I was very grateful for it...
