Knott's Berry Farm

For our 4th day of vacation we went to Knott's Berry Farm.  It was a Thursday and the place was DEAD!  There were no lines for anything and we had the place almost to ourselves!
 The characters were begging people to talk to them.  Crazy!
 The girls actually rode this ride 6 times in a row!  Jason took the boys off and did all of the parks major rides in an hour!
 Me and the girls hung out in Camp Spooky :)
 Best shot of the day, both girls looking and the ride moving. I know I have mad camera skills :) (I wish!)
 I thought Ryan would love the balloons but she went stiff as they lifted off of the ground.  Such a nut!
 The girls each got their own basket and we were the only people on the ride. Crazy!

 Hayden is crazy tall for her age but Knott's Berry Farm is very strict on their height requirements.  She is 41 inches and you have to be 42 inches to ride this teeny baby ride.  Lucky Mom got to go with her on this one.  *Side note* I only make this face for the kids benefit, I really wasn't scared on this tiny ride :) Really!
 The best part about Knott's is finding these random statutes sitting all over the place.  The problem is our kids are always inappropriately feeling these poor girls up.  Poor lady statues :)
 Hayden is a merry go round fanatic!

 Because Jason went on all of those rides in an hour, they did the Boomerang twice in a row because there was no line, Jason was again motion sick so I got stuck on the roller coasters.  After this ride Tyson told me, "Mom, your hair is crazy!"  California does crazy things to my hair, by the time we came home I was sporting quite an afro :)
 In Camp Snoopy they have this mini roller coaster and the kids can go on it alone.  Awesome!  That little blonde hair in the second row is Hay-Hay. 
 We ended our day early at Knotts and went to my favorite place...
 IKEA!!!
 Oh how I love that place!!!
 I love these kids chairs and my kids would love them too if they weren't $80!!  $80 for a plastic kids chair?!?  One day they will drop in price and they will be mine, Oh yes, they will be mine.  Sorry, slipped into Wayne's World there :)
 We usually don't let the kids walk with us because Jason can't handle me on one side begging for everything and then them on the other side begging too.  They had a horrible play place that only allowed 6 kids in at a time.  The kids didn't even get their shoes on before they were telling me how horrible it was on the inside.  They had to clean up all these other kids mess and then everyone couldn't go in the ball pit because of these other bad kids. So sad, so we let them have some fun in the kid area.  Bad idea! I ended up paying quite a bit of money for stuffed animals we did not need!
Little Ryan was adorable on this wooden horse.  Did you know IKEA even sells gingerbread house kits?  Totally bought 3 of them, Christmas is coming!
 I didn't buy any major furniture this time but wrote down several ideas for our next trip :)

  2. I lobbied hard for Sade and Jackson to be Wayne and Garth this year, but they both refused. It was crushing.

    The picture of you on the car ride with Hayden is killing me. You are a good mom to feign fright.
