Weekend Fun

On Saturday we went to Knott's Berry Farm in the morning.

Thomas's first time on Huff 'n Puff.  He loved it!


 On Saturday evening, Bobby, Jesi and Breanna stopped by for dinner before flying her to NY for college.  We had a nice visit, but I didn't get any pictures.

On Monday morning we had plans to go bowling, but when we found out the bowling alley was closed for Labor Day we were totally bummed.  We've been wanting to go to Universal Studios to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for a while, so we decided to do that instead.

Our first stop was Olivander's Wand Shop to buy a Harry Potter wand.  The wand was interactive, so the kids could do magic spells at different spots around the park.

We visited other rides and shows too.

Water World show- our favorite

Animal Actors show

It's a little hard to see but the owl in the middle of this picture is Draco Malfoy's in Harry Potter.

A jazz singer was doing a street performance on the balcony.  Thomas and I stopped to watch her and she was singing right to him:)
 
It was a great weekend!
