A couple of weekends ago we had a little family get away. The original plan was to make a quick trip to Utah to watch a friend in a play and visit with some family. Well, with the outrageous prices of gas right now we opted out of that decision.
We had however already made arrangements and had the weekend free so we decided to have some fun. We asked the kids what they might want to do and one suggestion from Chloe was a picnic. So we expanded on that idea a bit. We got the bags packed and headed to a surprise destination for the kids. We picked up some food along the way and arrived at Huntington Beach for a picnic and some fun. We had a really good time. Then we headed to the hotel that we booked for the night. On the way there we drove past the surprise for the next day....Knott's Berry Farm. The kids were so excited!! You see, they each have a piggy bank in their room and they fill it to go to Knott's...so they were very excited to say the least. At one point Christian did tell me "Chloe didn't fill hers all the way up"...oh these kids!! :)
Here are some pictures from our day at Knott's.

We had a great weekend together and agree that we need little get aways more often.

Fun!!! These pictures remind me of when we went there when Weston was a baby. Kaitlyn went on that rollercoaster that you have a picture of Christian and Dustin on...Kaitlyn was Christians age at the time. You know how they have the video you can buy at the end? Oh my goodness seeing her on it about made me pee my pants laughing. She was screaming her head off the whole time! we about spent the $20 bucks to buy the 5 seconds of footage it was THAT funny. Anyhow....good times....good memories!
