On the Tourist Path
With Grandparents that live 30 min from the theme parks of Californa my children have been indulged with Mickey and Minnie many times in the past. The truth is that it it usally my idea to go. It's kinda like reliving my childhood all over again at the age of 40 something. The hardest part of a trip to Disneyland is leaving the parade of lights down mainstreet as Ariel in her crystal ball pulled by 7 blue dolphines disappears into the magic pink castle.On this trip this time, we ventured a change and toured Univeral Studios as a change of course. I hadn't been to Univeral Studios since I was about 16. The Jaw ride was no longer there just a large shark hanging for pictures. I guess it was just another reminder of time and change.
Really Univeral Studios was all too scarry for my kids tender young ages. No matter how many times Mr. C was told that it wasn't real...he really didn't quite understand. Below are some of the silly pictures taken. They were fun and still make me giggle. We'll give it a go again when the kids are older as for now...well be back to visit princess Ariel on our next trip to California

Amazing photos! Sounds the kids had a fun time!
Hopefully this year we will be able to go to Disneyland. I have to admit it doesn't really do much for me but my son would love it. Or I should say, for the money I'd rather go someplace else.
You'd be surprised. It can really be lots of fun. Slip on over to California adventure for some wine tastings if your finding yourself bored.
What great memories for your children! First time visiting, nice place you have here!
Hi Wendy
Some nice pictures and a fun time for your children without the scary rides.
I seem to remember you were once a Stunt Horse Rider? Or is that someone else I am thinking about?
Heres a few rhymes about the postings
Time for your special memory bliss
Childhood at 40, whatever you wish
Steadfast in beliefs and fairness for all
Education in travel is Mommy's big call
Blogs a treat, family, one and all
Thought to share for all who call
Children’s delight, your life, their light
Hearts so dear it lights up the night
All I can do, is wish your sweet heart
Warm sunny rays to reward a warm heart
Lindsey- I like Childhood at 40. That's lovely. By the way...I really did have a few thoughts of moving back to California and furthering my career in the movie industry. I think my body wouldn't take too many falls now days. Maybe I could get on as Ariel and drive the dolphins?
Micki- Welcome to my blog. If you come back in a weeks time...there will be pics of Tasmania. Thanks for stopping by. I check out your blog likewise. Cheers.

I've loved seeing all your photos Wendy. I'll bet you had a hard time deciding which ones to post. Those kiddy pics are so precious :) You have beautiful children.
Thanks Kerri.
