Knott's Berry Farm!

On Tuesday we took the older two kids to Knott's Berry Farm for the day!  It has become a December tradition for us (thanks to the great Firefighter discount they offer!), and it was such a treat to just take the older kids!!  Olivia was well cared for by Grandma Poelstra.  We had a great time as there were no lines, it was perfect weather, and the kids had a blast!  What a treat it is as parents to watch them have so much fun.
 
A couple years ago Shane was on this very ride and ended up screaming and crying, which began a fear of some rides for him!  While he would not go on many rides at the very beginning of the day, he found one that he really liked, and suddenly he became a ride-going machine!  We were very proud of him for conquering his fear of Woodstock's Airmail!  He went on it three times at the end of the day.  And on the ride home he said it was his favorite ride of the day.  Kids!! 
 
Cute little truck driver!
 
Faith went on a number of roller coasters this year.  She was pretty excited to be over the magical 48 inch mark which allowed her to go on virtually every ride!  Overall, the kids could go on quite a few rides without an adult, which was nice!  Steve and I enjoyed watching them from a quiet bench!  Before Shane started going on all the rides, he chose to pose for pictures while we waited for Faith and Steve go on roller coasters!
