Going to Hollywood to be Discovered!

Hey everyone - sorry we didn't get any pics up from Sunday. The internet connection at the hotel was down. So tonight, you will get a double dose of pictures!

The picture below was actually from Saturday night. After I posted Saturday's pictures, we went back to Disneyland to watch Fantasmic. It turned out to be a bit late for Brodie...this picture was taken while we were waiting for the show to start. And Brent took this picture, he and Brodie went back to the hotel. Poor guy!!

On Sunday we went to Universal Studios. Our day started with an attempt at navigating Los Angeles freeways! Yikes! But Dean did a great job and got us there and back in one piece.

Below you will see some pics of the great characters we saw at Universal Studios. Speaking of characters, you will see my brother Brent doing some weird moves with Shrek - they broke out into some sort of jig. It was priceless!! Oh, and Shrek picked his nose and wiped it on Brodie.

We also met Donkey. He had a waffle stand. (If you've seen Shrek (the movie) then you will understand the significance of Donkey and waffles.) He was so funny. He was interacting with everyone coming up to his waffle stand. He and Amelia had a great chat.

The girls (Amelia and Mickinely) weren't really interested in seeing Shrek. But then Princess Fiona showed up. This is Princess Fiona showing the girls who to give the 'See Who is Boss' look.

We also saw superheroes (I think the kids were in awe of Spiderman), Dora & Diego.

On the studio tour we saw some great special effects. AND, for all you Desperate Housewives fans out there, I got to go onto Wisteria Lane!! The real one!! We were allowed on it because they weren't filming that day since the SAG Awards were that evening. Meaning that everyone had the day off work. It was very exciting for me! We also saw the sets for King Kong, War of the Worlds, Jaws, and more!
