Back to school!

August 25, 2025

Summer was too short and we didn’t want it to end but we had to go back to school. Boo! Before the first day there was lots of activities…supply pickup, Spartan Day for Spencer to get to know his way around the JH, setting up lockers…

The boys then started school on Monday, August 11 but Samantha just had meet the teacher that day. She was looking adorable of course and her hair was on point!

We met Samantha’s teacher who is new to the school and originally from Chicago. Hearing Samantha imitate her Chicago accent is pretty funny!

We also of course had to walk around to say hello to older favorite teachers.

Ready for a new school year!

More Universal

August 22, 2025

Day 2 at Universal and we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We rode so many roller coasters my equilibrium was off! It was the BEST!

We rode the Rip Ride Rockit a LOT!

We endured the G force of The Hulk…but only once. Once was enough for that one!

We of course rode Hagrid’s a few times…

and we rode the Velocicoaster more than anything! It’s still AWESOME! In between all of those rides we had some butter beer…

played with some Minions…

and got to go behind the scenes in the Men in Black ride which was super cool!! VIP in MIB!

Simpson’s Land is always a hit and this kid waited patiently to finally get his Lard Lad donut! He was such a trooper all weekend. He had gotten his braces the day before he left and he had sores all in his mouth. But, in true Spencey style, he didn’t complain and just kept going. Love this kid!

Best day ever!

What can I say, we love a good theme park!

Universal

August 21, 2025

At the end of July we had one more summer adventure! A trip to Universal to see the new park, Epic Universe. It was EPIC!

We stayed in one of the new hotels which was really cool…

and had a FULL day at the park riding all of the new rides! It kind of felt like we were walking on the surface of the sun but we survived. Our favorite ride was the roller coaster Stardust Racers and it might be my new favorite roller coaster ever!!
