Disneyland was so fun! It seems like a million years ago since we were there! We stayed at the Grand Californian,which was so close to Disneyland and it had it's own enterance into California Adventure. The weather is about the same as it is here in El Paso, but Everyone that came from Utah loved it! Nothing in Disneyland was left undecorated and it made us all so excited for Christmas! We saw tons of characters, all the girls ate breakfast with the princesses, Trent finally got his turkey leg he has been craving every year we're there, they had parades, oh and a couple people! The weekdays were great, not too crowded, but the weekend was pretty busy! We went on all our favorite rides, several times, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Screamin, Soarin and on and on... The best part was when me, Trent, Ryan and Alexa got into our swimsuits (mine was a tank top and shorts, since I forgot my suit, duh) one night right before California Adventure closed. It was freezing outside, but we braved the cold and jumped on the River Rapids ride, where you can get wet. Well, not only did we get wet, we got soaked! After a couple runs we ran the short distance back to our hotel and dove into the hot tub! That was certainly one of the many fun things we did that week. It was so much fun to spend that time with our families and do something fun with them while Trent had a break from school! We can't wait till we do it again next year!!
