I can't believe we're half way through our winter vacation. It seems like we're constantly going somewhere. We began our Christmas break (December 1) at Busch Gardens.
Two weeks later, we returned to the park for more fun with our friends.
Because the temperature was in the 50's and many people were getting ready for Christmas, the park was not crowded. It was so nice not to have to wait in long lines. As a matter of fact, the kids rode several rides twice.
Between our trips to Busch Gardens, Fun Christmas activities kept us busy .

The best part of our Christmas activities was visiting Charles Dickens and his wife, Clement C. Moore, P.T. Barnum and Beatrix Potter at the Crosley Estate. Our hosts greeted us as we entered the mansion. During the performance we moved from room to room to enjoy interactive theatrical presentations of these holiday stories: A Christmas Dinner from Sketches by Boz, The Tailor of Gloucester, Christmas at the Cratchits,A Christmas Carol, T'was the Night Before Christmas, and finally, Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins.
Beatrix Potter volunteered Mark to do sound affects.

Katherine gets some acting pointers from Mrs. Dickens, who narrated Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins.
The festivities end with caroling in the courtyard.
