Finally, Knott's Berry Farm

Grandma and Papa with most of the grandkids
All the cousins (minus Madelyn, Carson and Aubrey)






After our fun time in San Diego we traveled to Anaheim to meet the rest of the family. We spent Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after that at Knott's Berry Farm. Almost all of my family was there and my kids were so excited to see their cousins (we missed you Madelyn, Carson and Aubrey!). Earl and I spent most of our time at Camp Snoopy with Ethan and Tyson. Allison was right about 48 inches tall which meant she could go on some of the big kid rides. She and Alexa were attached at the hip and had so much fun together off with the big kids. Allison went on the Jaguar - her first big roller coaster ride-and loved it. Ethan was about 2 inches too short for those rides, but he was happy in Snoopy land. We did take him on the log ride, but he did not like it! So needless to say, we have lots pictures of Ethan and Tyson, but few of Allison. It was hard to say goodbye Saturday morning for our long ride home. Allison and Katie had bonded so Katie asked her mom if Allison could come play next weekend (we live in Oregon; Katie lives in Arizona)! So cute! I wish it was that easy to see our Arizona cousins! Ethan also got attached to Eric, the oldest boy cousin on my side of the family. Eric, thanks for letting Ethan follow you around! We had such a fun California trip! If only we could get together more often. We miss everyone already!

Looks like you guys had a great time! We missed seeing everyone! Wish we could have been there, Madelyn would have loved to ride the roller coasters with the big kids and Carson would have liked to show off and go on the Sierra Sidewinder (it's his favorite)! We'll have to get together soon!

I'm way behind on getting all my Knotts pictures up on my blog. The time will be there this Friday, once I'm done working till after the 1st of the year. HURRAY!!!
We had such a great time, and it went by way to fast. Katie keeps asking when she gets to have cousins over to play. It just breaks my heart. But isn't it just the best that no matter how much time goes by and no matter the distance, they still just pick right back up where they left off. And it had been 2 years for them. (Since we didn't make it last Thanksgiving)
We loved being with you guys. Can't wait for the next reunion.
