Disneyland & Knott's Berry Farm

Disneyland!

Dan and I went to Disneyland on Friday and Knott's Berry Farm on Saturday. Our neighbors, Martino and Tomoko met us at Disneyland along with Dan's Aunt Esther (she's only 2 years older than him). It was so fun! Martino is hilarious! He kept us constantly laughing. We were that obnoxious group that are loud and in everyone's grill. We spent some time in California Adventure, but most of the time at Disneyland.

It just so happened that Rick and Jackie Belcher were going to be there the same day so we met up and rode Haunted Mansion. It was so good to see them. We kept running into each other all day throughout both parks.

It also just happened that an old friend from my Colorado college days, Trisha, was going to be there, too. I hadn't seen her in 10 years! She hadn't changed a bit and it was really fun to see her.

I love, love, love Disneyland at Halloween time-especially the pumpkin carvings! They're so cool!

I love all the fall stuff, too. It's my favorite time of year.

Knott's Berry Farm!

Saturday we went to Knott's Berry Farm-just Dan and me. It was EMPTY! We walked onto every ride because most people wait and go to the Halloween Haunt later on in the evening. It was awesome!

Camp Snoopy was cool because you could trick or treat at all the rides (well, the kids could, not me). The whole park was decorated really cute. I love me some Snoopy!

There's a new ride called Pony Express that is basically a really short roller coaster but you sit funky-like you're on a horse. Anyway, next to the ride there's a small building called the Pony Express Outpost and I was curious so I went in. Inside, a bored looking lady jumped her feet and told me there was something special going on that day. If you hold a handful of giant hissing cockroaches and mealworms for 7 seconds, you win some candy. Of course I had to take the challenge! It was disgusting!

It made me giggle, so I grabbed Dan and made him try it. He wasn't as grossed out by it as I was.

All in all, it was a great couple of days. But then on the way home, Branson called and said he was flying in next weekend to go to Disneyland and wants us to come...so you'll probably see another Disneyland post in a week or so! Woohoo!
