July 4th - Second Day of Vacation

Knott's Berry Farm!
There were only 2 of us that had been to Knott's Berry Farm before - Auntie Alisha (she lives in California and generally goes once a year or so) and Grandpa (but he hadn't been there since Senior Ditch Day back in the 60's! Needless to say MUCH had changed). We all had a lot of fun and it was especially fun to watch Eva and Sophia enjoying themselves. Eva is getting taller so she can ride more rides and with the Camp Snoopy area, there were more rides for her to go on! Here are some rides that the girls enjoyed...

The Red Baron
I was trying to tell Eva to pull the lever so their plane could go up, but she seemed to not mind that her plane was the only one not flying high. : )
Grand Sierra Scenic Railroad
Huff and Puff
This was probably the most fun ride for me to watch Eva on - she had to "pump" her own mining car for it to move around the track! Check out the 2nd picture - I captured her determination! : )

Can't remember the name, but it is a "mini-scrambler". I love Eva's expression!
The Merry-go-Round
Always a favorite with the girls!

Here Eva was waiting in line with Shane to ride a small roller coaster - she wanted to wear Daddy's hat : )
Butterfield Stagecoach
Both Eva and Sophia thoroughly enjoyed riding the stagecoach! This is just a picture of the stagecoach traveling around the park. Shane, Eva, Sophia, and I got to ride on top, right behind the drivers. Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Alisha got to ride on top in the back. After we had ridden on the stagecoach, whenever Sophia saw the horses she got SO SO excited!!
Shane and I also road on quite a few more "thrilling rides". Here is a small list with links to the rides on the Knott's Berry Farm website:
