Ethan's birthday was the last weekday of Fall break. We got up at 4am and started the drive to California. Asher brought his favorite cat (mine from high school). Asher stayed awake until the last half an hour of the drive, of course. The hotel wouldn't let us check in early enough for a nap, so this was it.
We had a hotel room with a separated bedroom and kitchen, which was awesome. Asher was so overly tired after our first day that I had to hold him down to get him to calm down enough to go to sleep.
But he still got up before sunrise. We went outside and wandered around and then went to the breakfast area. There were some things out 20 minutes early, so we snacked and waited for everyone to wake up.
On the second day, we got to spend the afternoon at the waterpark. It was really cute watching Ethan and Benton. They would slide together, chase each other, wrestle in the water, etc. Even when they went down different slides, they would wait for each other before getting out again. They may drive each other crazy, but they are lucky to have each other. Asher was napping during this time.
We shifted our trip to stay late on Saturday when we found out they were having a Brick or Treat night. We paid a little extra, but got to stay until 9:30pm. They had shows and trick or treating and other activities.
Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Captain America (all Marvel characters).
This is Asher's new "smile for the camera" face.
Sunday morning some of us hung out around the hotel while others slept. Asher was the first up, of course, and then was so tired that he crashed while we were packing up to leave. We stayed at the hotel until he woke up and then drove home.
Asher lost his stuffed cat and when the lost and found didn't have it, they offered us another stuffed cat to help cheer him up. I decided to wait and go back. Mike went back later and they still didn't have our cat, so he accepted the new cat. I didn't know Mike went, so I checked again too. They offered me a fish. I realized later our mistake and emailed them, but they said it was fine. Asher loves these animals.
