Knott's Berry Farm- Day 1

Since we stayed at the Knott's Berry Farm hotel it was a quick five minute walk to the park entrance on Monday morning.  

The lines weren't long at all, so by about 10:10 (the park opened at 10:00) we were in Campy Snoopy and Peanuts heaven. 

I don't remember what our first ride was, but the Snoopy train was our second. 

The entire park was decorated in pumpkins.  They must have had 50,000 pumpkins in the whole park.  There were probably 2,000 on just the Snoopy train ride alone. 

Spencer was thrilled about it. 

Peanuts characters! 

So many Snoopies!

Somewhere in Campy Snoopy we decided we should get a family picture before the day got away from us. 

We ended up with two. 

And a selfie. 

And another selfie. 

I couldn't stop taking pictures of the pumpkins. 

Michael doesn't like wild roller coasters or anything that goes in a circle, so he's a ball of fun at amusement parks.   He sat out the swings. 

He also sat out the dragon swing. 

Spencer was not a fan. 

I'm shocked Michael actually thought to take pictures of everything he didn't do. 

We went on the Sky Cabin and got some lovely views of the park. 

The Sky Cabin is a slowly moving viewing cabin offering a panoramic view of Knott's Berry Farm  and the surrounding land outside the park.

A lovely view of us on the ride too!

Sometime around 4:00 that afternoon we met up with Spencer's friend Julian and his family.  Our first stop together was the Starbucks in the park to get some boysenberry lattes.  I have to say, I was not impressed.  I was rather disappointed actually.  It made for a pretty picture though. 

We spent the rest of the day (which was really just four hours since the park closed at 8:00) riding rides and having a blast. 

We did the log ride three times in a row.  I was fine during #1 and #2.  I got soaked on #3 and said, no more. 

About 3 seconds before a tidal wave hit me. 

We split up into three groups at the end of the night and then Michael, the kids, and I met up at the information booth and bought season tickets.  We had to pay about $70 each more than the price of a one day ticket to get 2019 season passes to both Knott's Berry Farm AND the water park across the street.  Plus our 2019 season passes came with a free day in the park which we decided to use the very next day instead of going to the beach.  So, up next: Knott's Berry Farm- Day 2!
