Knott's Berry Farm

Friday morning our Cruise was done and we thought it would be fun to take Ryker and Rylee to Knotts Berry Farm. Kenedy and Ty had been there within the past year or so and didn't have a desire to go back. Ty's cousin picked us up from the ship was taking us to Knotts to drop is off before heading back to his house with Kenedy and Ty. I had invited anyone in my family who wanted to and were able to meet us at Knotts and Heather and Jeremy were the only takers. When I mentioned in the car that they were meeting us at the park Kenedy started getting FOMO and talked herself into buying a ticket and staying with us. Ty was good to no stay and left with his Cousin.  Jeremy and Heather were arriving a little bit later then we were and while we waited for them we got a few rides in. I am not a thrill seeker, I do not like being scared or hung upside down and as I have gotten older going on Roller Coasters really hurts my head, like serious pain. So I opted out of riding any and all Roller Coasters. Kenedy, Rylee, Kefford and Ryker went on their first coaster, HangTime, while I hung around and waited for them. 
I did say I would go on Supreme Scream which is one that lifts you up and then drops you. As soon as I sat down and it started lifting I knew this was a bad idea for me. I am also terrified of heights and this one takes you so far up before dropping you down. I just closed my eyes, held on tight, and prayed for it to be over quick. I survived and vowed to never do it again. After that ride the other four wanted to go on Xcelerator, I opted out. While they were on that ride Heather and Jeremy found me and we were reunited which was fun. 

We got a picture of us waiting in line for the Train which was a really tame ride which is also why I was willing to go on it. :)



I talked my siblings and Kenedy and Rylee into going on the air balloon ride. It was pretty evident as we were waiting in line that this was a ride for little kids and when the attendant asked us how many and we said 5 adults no kids she looked very taken aback and seemed unsure about us going on it. There is a weight limit and so we had to separate into individual baskets. It was a little embarrassing for us grown adults to get on this kiddie ride sans kids but we got some good laughs over it and Jeremy especially liked teasing me about wanting to go on this little kid ride.


While Ryker, Rylee, Kenedy, Jeremy and Heather went on another roller coaster Kefford and I got a picture with Sally and Linus.
and Rylee was able to find a little version of Snoopy before getting her picture with Charlie Brown.
After Rylee had her turn we all hopped informed a picture with good ol Chuck Brown

Heather, Rylee, Charlie Brown, Kenedy, Kefford, Elizabeth
Jeremy and Ryker

The fab five went on another Coaster and I got inline and was going to go with them but very quickly talked myself out of it and left the line to find Kefford who was in line to get a picture with Snoopy. Getting a picture with Snoopy was much more my speed and for me I made the right decision and did not feel any regret about not going on the coaster.
it was getting ;ate but Heather and Jeremy were going on another coaster and they were our rides home so we hung out in some of the shops looking at souvenirs. It was very cold and we were pretty exhausted so after Jeremy and Heather were done we were all relieved to head to the cars and go to Mom's house.
