Disneyland!

Hunter had winter break from school last week, and Doyl decided to take the week off as well, so went to Disneyland for three days.  We stayed two nights at the Grand California Hotel, which is in Downtown Disney.  The location was great because we could easily go back to the hotel to take a nap or grab anything we forgot.  Overall, we all had a great time!  On the first night, Hunter stayed up to watch the fireworks at 8:45pm (he normally goes to bed around 7pm).  Hunter's favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, where you ride in a space ship and shoot a laser at the evil emperor Zurg and a bunch of aliens.  Xavier also loved the ride, but I think his favorite was Small World.  He threw a tantrum when he had to get off a Small World, yelling he wanted to do it again.  A Disneyland worker spotted Xavier's dismay over the end of the ride and let us cut the line and get right back on so he could ride it again.  Hunter was all about the roller coasters.  He and Doyl rode the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Gaget's Go Coaster in Mickey's Toon Town multiple times! The character's were also a big hit for Hunter.  We did two character breakfasts, which allowed Hunter to give lots of hugs and high-fives to them.  The only character Xavier liked was Woody.  We stood in line to get a picture with him and right before it was our turn, Woody had to leave.  It was such a bummer.  In general though, it was a great family trip to Disney! The first of many.
