In June of 2008, the entire family Schafer travelled to Florida for a trip to Disney World and to see Grandma and Grandpa's new house in Nokomis.
These pictures show the experiences of Ben's family.
We started the trip with several days touring with just our immediate family. We visited Epcot twice and the Magic Kingdom once during those three days.
