Fun at Knotts Berry Farm it has really changed in the last 20 years

Tricia and her family were on vacation at Palm Springs while Janessa her daughter's and Elizabeth Heather's daughter were at our house. Tricia and Janessa planned for us to meet them at Knotts Berry Farm. Mark came over from Diamond Bar and joined us there. We had a great time. It wasn't the Knotts Berry Farm that I remembered taking our children to but it was an awesome park for family from all ages. There was a lot for everyone to do.
One of my favorite rides was the Pony Express. It is a fast moving roller coaster. We had no idea what we were in store for when we got on this ride. Ashley and I were hanging on for dear life. Tricia was waving to her children. You can tell she is an experienced roller coaster rider.

Parker and Carter had a lot of fun pushing and pulling these carts around the track.

Johnathan and Lindsay getting a little snack break.

There is always time for a picture, I think so anyway.

Byron, Parker, Tanner, and Carter ready for the log ride. It was refreshing to get a bit wet.

We were so glad that Mark was able to join us for awhile at the park.

Ashley, Janessa, & Hailey waiting for the Snoopy Ice Show.

Most of the Beck's ready to watch the show.

The Snoopy Ice Show was really good. We loved the air conditioned room! The skaters were really fun to watch. They had a fantastic couple who did some amazing lifts.

Lindsay, Ellizabeth, and Camille. This was one of the few times during the day when most of us were together. The older children spent most of their time on the bigger rides.

A few minutes to regroup. I love all of those smiling faces.

Hailey was so sick the night before we were to leave for the LA area. We wondered if we were going to be able to go. She wanted to go so badly and so we chanced it. She slept quite a bit on the way down and quite a bit of the morning but in the afternoon she was smiling and having a great time. We were so glad she got to enjoy part of the day.The bumper cars were a lot of fun.

I have a cute video of this ride but I couldn't get it to work. It still is a fun picture of Ashley and in the back Janessa and Hailey. We had a great time. It was fun to see the children having a great time and enjoying being together.

I was really impressed with a program they had that was an Indian Legend. It reminded us of the importance of teaching our families about their ancestors and appreciating the contribution they made to our lives.

It was a wonderful place for a family to hang out and there was something for everyone to do young and old. I'm sure that Carter and Parker would love to have gotten rid of those height restrictions. They tried to be good sports about it.

One amazing day.
