Our Adventure to Knott’s
Berry Farm
Last week, my parents came into town from
Fargo, ND to visit with their Grandchildren. My Dad, remembering how we kids
loved Knott’s wanted to take our kids for their first trip to the park!
Honestly, I think he was excited himself to go remembering all of the fun times
our family had in the 70’s and 80’s attending the park. Not sure if he was
looking forward to the trip for himself or for the Grand kids alike!!! I took
the day off work simply to help them with the boys. The aches and pains
Grandmas and Grandpas have don’t cooperate with the excitement and quick legs of
7 and 4 year old boys.
We arrived to the park and discovered
that a small, soft sided cooler was allowed in the park for water and juice
boxes. When we walked in, we were greeted by photographers wishing to capture
us, excited for the day and allowing us to collect a memory photo later in the
day. We dashed off to Camp Snoopy and Grandma quickly jumped on several rides
with the boys. They were so excited to have them there, especially since it was
my kids’ first visit to Knott’s Berry Farm.
Next we headed through the Old Ghost Town
and straight to the Calico Mine Rider and the Timber Mountain Log Ride. These
were our family favorites when I was a kid and it brought back many
conversations and memories that we shared with my boys. Grandma and Grandpa
were having a great time, talking with the boys, teasing them and playing in the
park. Soon, we found ourselves playing some of the carnival games and my
youngest won his first stuffed animal throwing a ping pong ball into a bowl
floating in a water pond. It was a proud moment for Grandpa! Next, my oldest
and I played a game of chance tossing small balls onto a board with colored
circle cut outs. He won himself an “Angry Bird” stuffed animal.
Grandma was ready to visit the old
fashion candy shop and the boys were attached to Grandma’s hip like they had
been glued to her. We walked the complete park, hopping on the Merry Go Round,
the Fiesta Village rides, and more Camp Snoopy rides. We finished our day in
the Old Ghost Town looking at all of the wears for sell.
It was a great day, my kids were
exhausted, Grandma and Grandpa were satisfied and I was proud of the moments we
got to share together! It was a great day. Thank you Knott’s for the past
memories, providing my parents with more great times and for the fun my kids had
at your park. I know we will be back
soon!!!!
