Universal Studios - Bring A Towel

We spent yesterday at Universal Studios, where we found a fabulous Curious George area with giant books and a cute little town.

I was happily enjoying the giant Curious George book, when I heard........
"Ooooh! Look! What do these holes in the ground do?"

Katarina and Thomas stare at holes in the ground

They shoot water!

"We are just getting a little bit wet, Mom"


What's this? More water! 

Water falls from a balcony

I'm not sure this pictures conveys just how soaked Katarina was 
when we left Curious George-ville.
(clearly jeans are not the proper attire for visiting George)

Katarina is drenched

We poured the water out of her boots, 
and set her boots and socks out in the sun to dry.

It takes a loooonnnngggg time to dry boots and socks in the sun. 

Boots and Socks Drying in the Sun

How did a sock get up there?

One sock flew off the fan. The other sock flew off the fan.
But Thomas was not discouraged in his sock-drying efforts. Even when people walked by, pointing and laughing, he kept climbing back up and tying the socks on the fan...

until he finally got them to stay, as Curious George looked on with approval.

I am happy to report that we weren't kicked out for our improvised sock dryer.
Do you have a funny sock story? I know I'm not the only one!

  2. I am jealous that you live someplace warm enough to be dressed like that, and wet...outside. *sigh*

  4. This is so much fun - SO much fun! And so yellow! What a fun day. I'm so happy to see you all enjoying yourselves like this. I live vicariously through your blog sometimes. LOL! =D

    I'm loving the "Curious George looked on with approval" part - I have a feeling Thomas and Eddie and Curious George might get themselves in a lot of trouble if we ever let them hang out together. ;)

    Note to self and Wonder-Twin: Never let the husbands go unsupervised. LOL!!!

  5. Oh my! Thank you for the warning! We are heading to Universal and IOA next month and I know once my kid spots the Curious George area, he will want to play! No rain, snow, ice or ANYTHING will stop him!

    LOVE the sock dryer, that is awesome!

    Getting wet is just half the fun ... getting your socks dry can be just as fun.

  13. How funny to see the socks on the fan. It would have been so uncomfortable to walk around in wet jeans like that but I bet as a kid she didn't care.
