Disneyworld trip (a little late!)

After christmas we joined Marlon down in Orlando for a little family vacation. He was down there for work and we met up with him when he finished to visit the Disney parks (and Sea World). We had 4 days there and we were able to visit Sea World, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios and we spent a day enjoying the hotel pool and water slide. Marlon's assistant coach and his family were also down there, so we were able to do some activities together with their family, which our kids loved since they are good friends! It was Kellan's first time down there and Alex's second time--we made the same trip 2 years ago after christmas. We lucked out and had perfect weather--the kids did really well with the travel (I flew down with them by myself) and they had a ton of fun!

If you notice the red lanyard Alex is wearing in the photos, you can see that she started becoming a Disney pin collector. Once I explained how pin trading works at the Disney parks, she was excited to pick out her starter set and get to work. She enjoyed finding employees at each park who were wearing pins, checking out their collection and trading with them if she found one she liked. She must have traded off all of her pins 3 or 4 times, but at the end of the day she was happy with the ones she brought home. We will save her lanyard and pins for her next visit to Disney!

We had a wonderful trip, beautiful weather, and nice time spent with friends. We look forward to our future trips to Disney!
