Grandpa Des got all 7 of us into Knott's for only $51!!!!! Can you believe it? We arrived shortly after lunch and stayed till the 6pm closing. The weather was cool and cloudy (wonderful) and there were hardly any people there! The kids were pumped and a bit overwhelmed at first. Camp Snoopy was a big hit.
Owen's favorite ride: Charlie Brown Speedway-where the best ride operator ever let the kids ride three times in a row. Emma's favorite ride: the airplanes (even though she never got her's up in the air). Hope's favorite ride (and mine): the LOG RIDE! We did it three times and I could have done it more. Love it! We talked Owen and Emma into joining us on the first go and they were so stinkin scared! Owen said he was not scared, but did NOT want to ride again. The only ride we had to wait in line for was for the stagecoach. All in all it was fantastic. We got home with kids in bed by 9pm. Not bad.
Thank you Grandpa Des for a wonderful day at Knotts and tasty dinner after. To quote Hope, "This was the best day of my whole entire life!"
Tomorrow is Tim and Lauren's rehersal and dinner. Des and Jan will babysit so we can go together. Pray for the kids to be good for their grandparents! We are still working on babysitters for Sunday afternoon (the wedding is from 2:30-8). I'm planning on splitting the kids up if we can so no one is overwhelmed by our four loud children!

We should all have one person who knows how to bless us despite the evidence, Grandmother was that person to me.

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.

Knotts' log ride spoiled me as a child to all other log rides in existence. It's the BEST! We rode it again in 2004 and it was still as awesome as it was when I was a child.
And I can picture little Emma trying to get her plane in the air. My littles were never great at that (just figured it out this summer at ages 5 and 4, lol).
I miss Knottsberry Tales though. What an adorable ride that was; the "It's A Small World" of Knottsberry Farm. Knotts is perhaps my favorite park, and that's saying a lot because I had the BEST park in the world in my backyard in OH (Cedar Point; an absolute must for teens who love rollercoasters). Kudos to grandpa for helping everyone to have a very fun (and affordable) day.
Blessings,

haha..love the quotes! Hope you guys continue to have a great time!
Oh we have not been there in so long. I was prego with #4 the last time we went! Great memories. Grandparents are the biggest blessing! That is what we miss most about California!!!!
I'm so glad you had fun at Knott's and the weather has been good for being out- thankfully! I'm glad you guys missed all the yucky air from the fires.
We will be praying for your kiddos, their babysitters, and for the wedding too! :) Hooray for Tim!!
