Over the Christmas holidays, we finally took a family vacation. We decided to go to Florida and visit Disney World, Universal, Islands of Adventure, Legoland, Busch Gardens, and Clearwater Marine Aquarium to see Winter, the dolphin. This was Kari and Kacee's first family vacation and first trip to Disney. We had a lot of action packed days. We had a lot of fun. Another first: Kenzie rode her first roller coaster that went upside down. Below are some pictures from our trip.
