Saturday we took the girls to Universal Studios Japan. It's in Osaka...four train stops away! It was a hot and humid day here in Japan and we tried our best to stay cool and hydrated. Sarah literally could not take the heat and I ended up leaving with her after about 4 hours. But, before that she had a good time and Jim and Grace stayed until the closing parade and really enjoyed the rest of the park. We only have pictures of the things we did while I was there since it's usually me taking the pictures and Jim wouldn't have been able to take pictures and ride the rides with Grace at the same time.
She was still talking about driving the cars the next day!
They had this little water section with Ernie in the bathtub with his rubber ducky and then water trickling out down a stream in which the duckies could zig-zag through. I guess I didn't get a picture of that, but Grace is picking up a duck at the bottom.
Grace wasn't allowed to ride the cars that Sarah rode. But, here she is riding the cars for the bigger kids!
It was an "okay" day at Universal for our family. Universal itself was fun, but Sarah needing to go home did put a damper on the experience, especially because Jim and I were a little worried about her. (Now, mom - this doesn't mean she was passed out and we weren't taking care of her so don't get worried, she's fine!).
But, on the positive side...we took a train to get here. I left with Sarah. Had we went to Kings Island for the day - the whole family would have needed to leave in the car we used to drive there. Grace and Jim were able to stay and spend the rest of the time there together and came home smiling.
Sounds fun! Bummer you had to leave though but the train was surely a blessing. I have had that heat problem with Maggie before at the zoo. She was about Sarah's age too. Sounds like you handled it well. Way to go mama!
