We loved visiting Orlando in the middle of Minnesota's frigid winter. The kids were enthralled with palm trees and we all loved the sunshine and mild weather. Our first stop was Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. We loved all of the rides and ended up getting wet. The Wizarding world of Harry Potter was especially cool. If it looks like Marissa has a black eye in the pictures, it is because she does. She and David's knee got a little too close a few days before we left.

Our 2nd day started out with Kelly's Disney half marathon. He finished at Epcot and then met us at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom.

Kelly just finished his half marathon at Disney World! He ran it in just under 2 hours and 3 minutes. He got a gold Donald Duck medal. Follow this link to see a video and pictures of him finishing the race. Look for him crossing at 13-17 seconds into the video on the right hand side.
