Day 2
Universal Studios and Harry Potter World here we come! This day started off a little rough with Ricki not feeling well but still turned into a magical day for Ricki. We arrived around 2 in the afternoon and by the time we had walked through the shopping areas to get to the entrance Ricki was already worn out so we started at the first aide station getting an ice pack to try to cool her down and hydrate her a little. We we're touched by the kindness of everyone there. As soon as they saw Ricki's lanyard showing she was on her Make A Wish they bent over backwards to help. The timing was perfect when we arrived at the wand shop. There was no one else in line and so we started off the day with Ricki getting her own private wand show where her wand chose her. The wizard doing the presentation was amazing and she had Rick and I in tears and Ricki glowing with her beautiful smile by the end. With the special passes we were able to get in all the important Harry Potter rides in a short period of time. One worker was so impressive.. He told us we needed to put our things in a locker before we could go on the ride. As we were walking out of the locker area he was there waiting for us to walk us to the front of the line. We finished off the day with dinner at Three Broomsticks. The family platter was beautifully presented and the frozen butter beer was deliciously creamy. As we were heading out of the park around 7 'o'clock It was hard leaving the park ...there was still so much to see and do but our sweet Ricki had done all she could. That night as I was saying my prayers I was praying that Ricki would have the endurance to enjoy her trip..in my mind that meant she would be able to get up early and go all day into the evening :) an impression came to my mind and it was "Less is More" As I pondered on this I realized that this trip we needed to not focus on getting it "All" in but really enjoying our precious time together.
