For our third day, we headed back to Universal. We had already done Islands of Adventure, but we also wanted to do Universal Studios. This day included Haleigh and Jade's first upside down roller coaster, about 5 trips on Revenge of the Mummy (we love this ride), the Simpson's ride (Anthony knew every reference), a Blues Brothers performance and congo line, many more rides, and a great water/firework show to end the day.
Ready for another fun day!
Our first stop was Woody Woodpecker's Kid Zone
Then we were on to the Simpson's!
After the Simpson's, we headed to ride the classic E.T. Adventure. We learned while we were waiting in line that Chloe can do a mean impression of both E.T. and Gollum (LOTR). She's seven, and I really don't know where she comes up with this stuff, but I'm glad she does. :) We got it on video later in the week, and we enjoyed having her do these impressions for us for the rest of the week!
Next up was the Blues Brothers' show!
They put on a good show, and even came out in the crowd to do a congo line
While Anthony and I went with Haleigh and Jade to ride the Revenge of the Mummy, this guy showed up outside. Mom got this picture (actually all these pics are hers!) while they were waiting for us and eating dip 'n' dots!
Note: All rides that only Haleigh and Jade could ride were not because Chloe was in any way afraid of them. All three LOVE rides! She was simply too short for a handful of the rides throughout the week. :/

Haleigh and Jade's first upside down roller coaster, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit!
It was so nice that they all love rides and aren't scared! The complete opposite of me in 5th grade when we first came to Orlando :) It makes it way more fun!
While we were riding the roller coaster, Mom took Chloe on the Despicable Me ride - she even got to have a dance party with a minion afterwards!
Then it was time to get ready for the end of the night show: Universal's Cinematic Spectacular. The girls all got light up toys and a bubble machine.
Then it was time for the show. Universal is celebrating their 100-year anniversary, and this show presents the most iconic movie moments in their history on three awesome water curtains. These water curtains are like giant tv screens made out of water; to see the full effect see here (this video is the whole show, but you can skip through it to see how cool it was). There are also lasers, fountains, and fireworks all throughout the lagoon.
It was a great end to the night, and maybe my favorite nighttime show of all the parks!
