The Erickson Family: Knott's Berry Farm

Yesterday, we went to Knott's Berry Farm!

On the way there, Jayden said, "I hope Snoopy will come out of his doghouse so I can see him." As soon as we walked into Camp Snoopy...there he was!!

Jayden was so excited!

Conner and Jayden giving Snoopy a hug.

Brady wasn't too sure about Knott's. When the roller coasters would zoom by and make noise, it would scare him and his little lip would quiver.

He was very cautious all day about what was going on around him.

I had never seen this side of him before.

He wanted Papa to hold him ALL day. It was hot, (and Brady weighs 30 pounds) but it never bothered Papa, or so he said. He carried him around most of the day. Thanks Dad! :) I know you're back will be hurting today! :(

Conner and Jayden flying the airplanes

Jayden was so brave! He rode everything possible and was so upset when he wasn't tall enough to go on the bigger rides. He actually surprised me! I took him on one rollercoaster and thought he would cry for sure, but instead he said, "Let's do it again, Mommy!" Such a fun age! We can't wait to go back with Daddy in a few months!

Brady and Conner decided to watch from the sidelines

Jayden was yelling..."I am a PILOT!"

On the train

Jayden loves to pretend to be the "Conductor!"

Shaking the Conductor's hand

(and boy...this was a BIG deal. I "think" he might have enjoyed this

more than meeting Snoopy!)

Conner and the Conductor

Jayden and the Bear

Auntie Jenn and Conner on the cars

Jayden and I on the cars

My mom bought all the girls Snoopy shirts to wear at Knott's before we went.

SO cute! Thanks Mom!!!

Auntie Jenn and Jayden riding the School Bus

Jayden told me, "Mommy, school buses don't fly, but this one is a magic school bus because it's Snoopy's." This little boy's mind never stops working. He is so smart. The things he comes up with amaze me.

Mommy loves you, Jayden!

Riding Lucy's Tugboat

Driving the trucks...you can't see it because of the reflection on the windshield, but Jayden and Conner are actually in the truck,

and Gaga is riding on a seat on top of the truck.

Time for some juice!

Waiting for Auntie Jenn and Jayden to come off a ride...

Jumping in the Bounce House

Watching Snoopy on Ice

We go to Disney on Ice every year, and I must say I enjoyed this show just as much!

The music was fun!! We all loved it.

Brady took a power nap while Jayden rode the bumper cars

Papa and Jayden

Can you see the anticipation on Jayden's face?!?!

This was the actual ride...Jayden giggled the whole time!

It looks like Papa had a great time, too.

Jayden and Jess waving at the train

Jayden was devastated that he was too short to go on the Roaring Rapids.

He kept saying, "But, I'm so big now, Mommy!" :(

The boys decided to have suckers while we waited instead.

Cute, sticky face

All Aboard!

Papa and Gaga

These two boys loved the train ride!

(This was the bigger train)

Ryan and Papa

My little climber and Jessica

Jayden was beyond excited when he got to sit by the Conductor's Station!

He talked to him as much as possible.

When the Bandits came on (Jayden thought they were Cowboys, and we left it at that), Jayden tried to shake their hands. They come on and pretend to rob people as a surprise visit on the train. Jayden was just excited to meet them.

They stood and talked to him for a while...

and showed him their guns!

The Bandits were pretty funny. Jessica has the trendy feathers in her hair and this Bandit asked her if a bird died on her head. They had some pretty funny jokes!

One even gave Jayden a bullet case, and wow, was he excited! He's holding it in his hand, can you see it? He carried it around all day, and still has it. So cool for a little boy!
