We decided that since we couldn't take an exotic vacation (just the two of us) to celebrate our anniversary, Knott's Berry Farm would have to do!
I have heard about Knott's Berry Farm since I was little. My grandma would go out to LA to visit her sister and always bring us trinkets back from there. I was excited to finally visit it!
We got there just as the gates opened and the crowd was just what we had hoped for. None! I think that since Disneyland and Universal are so close, most people visit those instead. That was fine with us. We probably only waiting over 30 for 3 rides, the entire day. It was perfect!
The kids didn't want to ride the wooden roller coaster (Bitty was too short anyway), but maybe the next time we go, we'll be able to coax them on it.
The first area we visited was the Ghost Town....which literally was a ghost town because there were no people there.
We stopped in the school house, where the teacher asked Caleb to deliver a package to the dress shop.
Delivering the package :o)
Next, we took a ride on the old steam engine.
Thankfully, we told the robbers we didn't have any money so they left us alone.
After that we took another train ride though the mining caves and rode the log ride (which was all of our favorite!).
Dad and Amelia rode this little rollercoaster, which ended up being a little scarier than it looked.
There were so many rides that just went around in circles....
I am getting too old for rides that go around in circles!
We found our way back into the Ghost Town, so we hopped on the stagecoach.
We were lucky and got to ride on the top, which gave us great views of the park.
Shawn rode this one below by himself. I think that amusement parks should have childcare for the adults that want to ride rides together.
Caleb and I rode the swings....again with the going around in circles.
Dad and Amelia rode the carousel and decided to ride on the pigs.
Next, we rode the salsa dishes, or sombreros, I'm not sure what they were, but I was done with going in circles after that one!
I love this picture of Bitty!
We made our way around to Camp Snoopy and more of the kid rides.
They got to ride the swings by themselves.
Laying down in the Linus Launcher.
Charlie Brown's hot air balloons.
They really liked the mail drop ride!
Amelia flying the plane (Caleb was too big to ride :o).
We were all pooped by the end of the day!!
They got put in jail on the way out.
We stopped in a couple of stores and got some famous Knott's Berry Farm jam on the way out.
I would definitely go back to this park!! We had a great time (and sshhhh, we liked it way better than Legoland)! I think it was a great way to celebrate our 15th anniversary!
