Knott's Berry Rebels

Matt had a four day weekend ( Sat., Sun., Mon., and Tues.) this weekend in honor of Veteran's Day. So we decided that a fun family outing was a must, to do a long weekend justice. The kids were supposed to be in school Monday, but then had Tuesday off for Veteran's Day. We thought this was so strange...send the kids to school for one day, and then stay home. In our hearts, Matt and I are rebels, and we rebelled against the California school system and took the kids out of school on Monday. Instead of going to school, we went to Knott's Berry Farm! It was a blast! It is a little under two hours away, so we left at 8am, and got there right at opening. We stayed until closing and drove home. A very do-able Day trip. We got an awesome deal, being in the military. Knott's was offering a huge discount for Veterans/military during the month of November. We all got in for less then a normal adult full fare. The thing we found comical was, we paid more for lunch then we did to get in the actual park! Typical amusement park scenario!Here are some pictures capturing our day.

(something funky going on with my hair...but it was the only one I had of us on the old steam train)

Amber going on a kid coaster ride with Anya. You can't see Anya, she is on the other side. This was a pretty fun coaster, bigger then most kid coasters. We tried and tried to get Anya to go on some of the other Coasters in the park, now that she is tall enough. She wouldn't do it. Oh well, maybe next year.
