Friday we had a lazy morning, and Kyle and I went to the credit union to open an account for Adam. When we got back to the house, we loaded up all of our kids to go to Knotts Berry Farm. Since Tiffany was all alone at the house, we took her with us.
It turns out that we chose the perfect day to go. The weather was beautiful, not hot, and not cold. And considering our kids were out of school, but kids in California were in school there were next to no lines for any of the rides! So we just got right on almost everything.
Chloe and Jeremy look like they really didn’t like this one. It was kind of like a mini Supreme Scream where they take you up and then drop you. Only this one they take you up and then you kind of bounce down, and then you go back up only not so high and then bounce back down. Also, those are all our kids except the little girl sitting between Jeremy and Chloe. 🙂
After Woodstock’s Airmail, Kyle took Ethan, Tyra, Jeremy and Dinah on a roller coaster across the way. Tiffany and I stayed with the strollers of little people, and went to find the exit of the ride. Kyle, Tiffany and I took turns staying with Adam and the strollers (and sometimes Lydia and Chloe if they were too short to go on something). There was next to no line so they got on pretty quickly. As soon as they got on the ride though, Jeremy decided that there was no way he was going to go through with it, so he came right down the exit stairs to be with us while we waited for the others. When it finished and they got off, they came down the stairs to us. Dinah had a huge smile on her face while she said “that was SO scary!”
Being October the park was all decked out for Halloween (they closed early so they could reopen a bit later for Knott’s Scary Farm).
Lydia really got mad every time we tried to buckle her into a ride. But once the ride got going, she really enjoyed herself.
The only ride we really had to wait in line for, was the ferris wheel. And it wasn’t because it was highly popular or anything like that. It was only because the girls running it were only using about half the seats, which I suspect had something to do with keeping it balanced, but I’m not positive about that.
Jeremy makes some really awesome funny faces. If you have time I highly suggest you go over to the photo gallery and check them out (there are a few from when he was sitting on this ride).
We had an awesome day. We probably could have got there earlier, but I’m not going to beat myself up over that. We were able to cover almost all of Camp Snoopy, and I think the kids had a lot of fun. After every ride they asked if they could go again, and thankfully we kept answering with “well lets see what’s next” or we may not have been able to go through as much of Camp Snoopy as we did. 🙂
