Knotts Berry Farm

Talk about some good, old fashioned fun! The adults played hooky from their jobs on Friday and we all took off for Knotts Berry Farm, a great amusement park up in Anaheim. We went with our friends David and Becky, who turned out to be KBF experts, having visited the park with their own families growing up.

Millie and "Cooper". We have no idea why she decided to call Snoopy this, but she insisted.

What a cool day this was. First of all, it was nearly free (The park gave free admission to military veterans and one guest, so we just had to pay a little bit for Millie. David's a JAG too, so he and Becky got in free.) Plus, it had an awesome combination of adult roller coasters and fun kids rides. And on top of that, the park started out as an actual berry farm 75 years ago and is famous for it's chicken dinners. Score. We had a huge, awesome lunch.

After lunch, Millie wanted a picture with the giant chicken!

But I think my favorite part was watching Millie just fall in love with David and Becky. She adores them, really. Way before we even left the house she had determined that she was going to ride the "spin wheel" (ferris wheel) with Miss Becky. She couldn't wait. And all through the park she held their hands, sat on their laps, and chatted them up. It was sweet. I think Simon probably thought they were cool too, but he was pretty busy screeching and squirming out of the stroller/our arms/the highchair/the train ride to really get involved in much else!

On the spin wheel!

What an awesome group shot! What a great day!
