Day Four: Island of Adventure

Rio pointed out that the wonderful thing about the Island of Adventure is that it is really two theme parks in one. Wizarding World has Forbidden Journey, the Dueling Dragon roller coasters, a wand show and nifty stores... Then there is the rest of the park. The Mediterranean parts were boring and really needs to be upgraded... The water rides are great and we would have done them repeatedly.... if it was not a cold, cloudy afternoon. But we did enjoy the Marvel Comic section and enjoyed hanging around Mayberry Street and Dr. Seuss characters.

Sorry, I don't know how to turn around the photo but it's a great scene from Marmaduke! The kids and Hiro had a fun time with it.

Rio really got into posing under these captions. In fact, he really hammed it up and it was a riot. I liked how we did things other than coaster galore...

I got into the act too..

Hiro's favorite Marvel character is Wolverine and he actually lined up for a character photo. In fact, he stuck two pens between his fingers, and rolled up a park pamphlet for his third "claw." Wolverine was impressed. LOL Quite the hunk this guy was...

 The kids were enamored with baby Hulk.

The famed Hulk roller coaster. Surprised they only did it twice. We got free passes, do it again... But even that it was the fourth day of coasters, they had enough.

 Remember how the kids were SO not into the Disney character lunch? Well, they LOVED the Dr. Seuss character special. The line-up for The Cat in the Hat was a little too long even for us but the Grinch and Thing One and Thing Two made us a little giddy. Hiro was like "So our kids actually know these guys?" He was clueless. I am glad I introduced my kids to a childhood of Dr. Seuss. We read Mikey's copy of "Mayberry Street."

Green Eggs and Ham. And we caught (no pun intended) Spiderman as we were leaving the park...
Another great Hiroshi pose idea!
