Universal Studios Singapore - Again! =)

Vito turned 7 this month (gosh, has it been 7 years???), and instead of a party, he opted for a trip to universal studios.  This was our 4th time there, so it was a lot more relaxed as we didn't feel the pressure to try everything all in one day.  =D

We got there at exactly 9:30am, 15 minutes before the gates opened.  The minute we got in, we raced to the newly-opened transformers ride! We passed a few people queueing up to pose with Po of Kung Fu Panda but we hardly gave them a passing glance. =) Sorry Po, the birthday boy wants robots, not pandas!

This was the whole point of the trip.  Vito and Manuel went in first as raoul wasn't allowed in. then when they got out, Vito and i went in.  It was such a thrill!!! The 3d effects were amazing!  The ride is such a technological masterpiece -- able to force a suspension of disbelief even to the most jaded theme park veteran.  I was literally hanging on for dear life the whole entire ride! It was so much fun; and if you're an adrenaline junkie, this ride will definitely make you happy.  Will I ever attempt it again? Uhm, no.  I think I lost my voice from screaming. I am not cut out to be Megan Fox or Rosie Huntington whatever. 

Here is the little one at the Transformers shop while waiting for his kuya and daddy.  no, we didn't buy any new toys.  Vito has more than 20 transformers already! I did buy his and hers transformers shirts for Manuel and I though. heheheh

 and here are the transformers die-hard fans with EVAC, the new robot they designed just for the ride. =)  they just had to have a picture! too bad my hands were shaky.

bumblebee was there too!  my kids couldn't contain their excitement. =)

isn't his happiness super obvious? =)

i had to pose with the kids, of course 

no visit to universal studios is complete without going to jurassic park.

dinosaurs and transformers are two of vito's greatest loves, and this was his day. =) 

the madagascar area had rides for raoul's age. we did the carousel 2 times, and the crate adventure once (but it was fun because all 4 of us could go).  isn't he adorable? =)

 of course i had to go with him. and of course i had to pose too! =D

it rained that day. but it didn't stop us from having fun. it only meant a change of outfits for the boys. =)   we were on our way back to the transformers ride here.

but not before a photo op stop at the new york area. =)

i changed my top too. i was a rainy but humid day.  

 vito took this picture! he works my dslr better than his dad! hahahhaah!

 see? =)  my always serious hubby and me, taken by vito

after going through the transformers ride for the 3rd time, vito had to say goodbye to bumblebee before leaving.
