A Day at Knott's with the Waite family


On Saturday, March 7th, Fran's buddy Colby (and his family) brought us with them to Knott's Berry Farm. It is strange for me to let Frances be a "big kid" and go on the big rides with her friends, but as she grows up, I am going to start having to let go. Sigh... I did go with her on Ghostrider and Boomerang. One of her favorite things was the swings. She likes to close her eyes, fling her arms out to the sides, and enjoy the sensation of flying!


As many of you adults will remember, planning your day at an amusement park is serious business. Here, Frances and Colby take an ice-cream break, and carefully consider which rides to do next. Frances was tall enough for many of the really cool rides, but was bitterly disappointed that she was too short to go on Silver Bullet with the other "big" kids.


Abigail had a fun day too, going on several rides (including the Log Ride, which she did not care for!) and just taking in all the sights and sounds.

Here are Frances and Colby, eagerly awaiting the "train robbers" while riding the big steam train.
