This is becoming a test of my stamina. So far - so good. The girls are way ahead of me, though. They spent Tuesday at Disney's Animal Kingdom.....riding the roller coaster Yeti ride several times until they were ready to hurl. Yesterday, we all loaded into the vehicles and arrived at Universal Studios for our 2nd day pass visit. The lines going in were ginormous....I almost wondered if they would close the park due to a maximum number allowed but we made it in. It was hot and crowded. The kids took off to do "their" thing while I led the adult pack to Harry Potter for the famous butter beer. Oooooo, so yummy! Lory noticed a fellow lying on the ground taking a photo. We all looked up to see what he was photographing. WOW....there was a big halo around the sun. Many had no idea what it was. We googled it and found out: it is called a 22 degree halo - it is an atmospheric phenomenon caused when light from the sun refracts through ice particles in the clouds. We were in the Harry Potter section when we saw it so that made it even more eerie. Made
Still Wonderful.....
Lory & Jay - Jim & Kimfor unique & interesting photographs. From there, our next landing spot is the Backwater Bar (one of our most favorite places). Here we can sit and watch the millions of people plugging along through this fantasyland. Everyone seems so happy....some are weary but not willing to give it up. The sun was hot but the tropical drinks were cooling. Oooooo, so yummy. By mid afternoon, half of our group was ready to leave while the other half withstood another few hours of the many enticing venues found at this wonderful park. Can you figure out which "half" I was in? I was in the first half....the one that opted to leave. How did you guess? It was another fun day with our family.
