Universal studios - sorry son your too short ...??

-


As a parent I think - kids are just punishing us for what we did as children ....lol

Now with that said - here I am measuring my kids hieght, wondering if my efforts in planning for a great family dream vacation will be crushed if my son is - to put it mildly "short". You know - who really thinks about hieght when your planning a trip to some theme park...

Ok, yes I've been to Walt Disney world, magic kingdom, Universal Studios - I know some of the rides have hieght restrictions. But Really, I don't think of that until I've already paid and I'm walking thru the park to get on that spicific ride I've heard of. I really hate it when my son has to sit it out - becuase he is... um ... short.

So while I was doing my reasearch trying to choose between "Walt Disney" or "Universal Studios" - I noticed that all the cool rides at Universal Studios Island of Adventures have hieght ristrictions. Check it out:

Universal Studios Florida
Revenge of the MummySM - Must be at least 48"

Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast™ - Must be at least 40" (persons under 40" can experience this attraction from an adjacent stationary location.)

I really think my son would love the Popeye Water Ride - it looks like so much fun and the boy is a fish - loves anything that has to do with water [ unlike me ]. He can spend hours just playing outside while the water sprinklers run.

Meaning of Words: Stupid, Dumb, Ignorant, foolish and Retarded

Are you Stupid, Dumb, Ignorant, foolish or Retarded? I had an interesting conversation with my children and some teens the other day. I asked them what the following words meant to them: Stupid, ignorant, dumb, foolish, and retarded. It was really fun to watch them try to explain each word and how the discussion quickly became an argument over how each word basically meant the same thing - you are calling me stupid, that I am not smart. After one or two minutes had passed I politely interrupted and I said: “I believe that you guys are all ignorant of the true meaning of each word I presented you with.” They all turned to look at me, each with a disgusted look on their face. I asked them “What, what did I say?” My daughter was the first to speak up – “I am not stupid!” As I tried to keep a straight face I asked her “when did I call you stupid?” “Just now, you said I was stupid...” My daughter’s friend hastily jumped into the fray “Yeah, you just called us all stupid.” She sa

Walt Disney world - Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney world - Magic Kingdom Quietly planning my next family outing - shhss don’t tell the family. I’ve been working long hours and many nights - so I figure I have to plan special moments in greater detail than just letting them happen. You know how it goes you put something off till the week end and bang something always comes up. Besides - if I plan it right maybe I can control the cost better [ you save for it rather than have an expensive spur of the moment thing]. I’m thinking Walt Disney World. One night stay at a hotel and take advantage of the one get second free [ if they have it ]... I know my whole family loves fire works and Walt Disney knows how to give a impressive fire works display. I hope I can get a hotel close to Disney with a view of the park so maybe we can get a sneak peek at their “Disney Fire works extravaganza”... I understand they revamped the “it’s a small world - I took my little girl to that and hope my son will be impressed as much as she was. I also

STUCK ! on Bush Gardens ride

STUCK in Bush Gardens Ride That’s right - stuck in a Bush Gardens ride. Serves them right. Yes even though it makes for a great post - I’m upset that I was stuck at work while my son & wife went off to play at Bush Gardens. I would like to thank “Miss Eli” for the free tickets and for my Brother-in-law for taking them. But man, I missed all the fun. I hear my son had a grand old time and he even got to ride in front with the conductor on a ride [ of course that’s the ride that got stuck ]. Luckily we have video ladies and gents…. Below here are some pic’s of the short Family vacation. Although the tickets were free I still had to shell out some cash for the family to eat, buy trinkets and have fun. Man, some one in my family should say thank you. ^%*$#@!!!! I had to work all day.
