Disney--Day 4--visit to Grandpa Ron and Universal Studios

We rented a car for one day and drove to see my Grandpa Ron in Vero Beach (two hours away). He had a stroke a while ago and has to live in a nursing home. We met his wife, Erika, there and hung out for a few hours. It was so nice to see him b/c hadn't seen him since Hunter's 1st birthday party. I'd really like to see him more and make sure the kids know him, but it's quite difficult! We had to be back to the hotel by 4pm b/c Nick's firm had an outing to Universal Studios planned...it was AWESOME! This was my favorite picture of the day!

Even though Hunter hasn't seen him in a long time, he was excited to see him. We talk about him a lot, so he remembers.Jack was too wiggly to hang out on his great-grandpa's lap
It was nice b/c they had a little courtyard that we could go out to. The kids could hang out and we could sit and visit.

I think my grandpa had a great time seeing all of us even though he can't say much

We took a bus to Universal Studios later that day. We had the royal treatment...we got express passes which let you go to the front of the line for all rides. Then they had blocked off this whole section of the park for us. There were tons of restaurants, food stations, entertainment, etc, set up and you could go in anywhere and get whatever you wanted to eat and/or drink. I should have taken more pictures b/c it was really neat. They were also shutting down the Harry Potter stuff early for us, but the kids couldn't last that long, so we headed back to the hotel around 8pm. It was a really fun time!

We hung out with Rob, Shayna, and Preston. The kids have met before, but you would have thought Hunter and Preston were BFF's b/c they had so much fun together! Shayna is pregnant with their second and she looks so good.

Hanging out eating cookies before hitting up more rides
Dancing and acting silly. They sat by each other on the bus on the way back and acted crazy together. Preston apparently likes to lick people so at one point they were licking each other's faces--yuck! They were so cute and I wish they didn't live an hour from us or we'd be able to hang out more often :( Preston will be three in April.
