Easter Beagles!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was our annual trek to Knotts Berry farm.  We had 5 kids, my 4 plus a friend of Beth's. My parents, and me.  All 5 kids got their photo taken with Snoopy wearing bunny ears. I'll scan that photo and put it up later.  After that they rode a few rides and then Beth and her friend left us for roller coasters.  We hit camp Snoopy. Airmail again, red baron airplanes, the Charlie Brown Safari show (what do you get when you cross an elephant with a fish??  hehe.. Swim Trunks. Get it?  No the jokes didn't get any better. We all laughed though)  Then the Timberline Twiseter, a jr. roller coaster, which Drew LOVED, the school bus, tugboat, and maze.

Beth and her friend and I met up then. My parents kept the 3 littles to ride the trucks and jump in the bouncy, while I rode Silver Bullet with Beth. Then the 5 of us girls rode Jaguar 3 times.  The stagecoach, Main Train, Mystery Lodge, Merry-go-round, and finally... heaven help us all, and please forgive me. I let Tori and Katie ride Ghost Rider. A full-size, level 4 roller coaster. The catch was I can't ride it, it's too jerky for my back. Beth rode with her girlfriend who is also  nervous on coasters.  Poor girls. Katie was pretty ok, but cried when she got to me. Tori was sobbing off the ride and didn't stop for nearly half an hour. Though what really "got me" was her statement, at least I tried it, maybe in a couple years when I'm really big I'll try it again. We got our goodies and left after that. In the end, everyone is pleased with their day. Whew, I was afraid that that coaster was going to dampen the day for those two.

Here's a few pictures.

You have lost your mind. 'I' don't ride Ghost Rider. Sounds like a fun day, though.
