Summer Vacation: MATH MUSEUM FUN!!!!


Surprise!!! The math museum was closed, but Knott's Berry Farm was open!!! Yay!!!!!!

BEYOND AMAZING!!!!!!



We started off with a mystery!! Was the man guilty or framed? On the way to find out Elijah and Ella landed a job as reporters!!! At first Ella was really excited, but then later on in the day she was freaking out that she would have to leave me to do her job. She laughed to herself and said, "Well the jokes on them because I don't live here!!"





The weather was absolute perfection. Not too hot, not too cold. There were plenty of people there but the lines were doable! Not overly crowded!!



The kids enjoyed roping, log rides, and rubberband shooting.






We loved indulging in funnel cake and stunt shows!



Shark attack or Boysenberry attack?





During lunch Ella wanted to take some pictures. Little did we know she could do glamour shots!!! Check out Jay, Mr.Handsome!!!



Camp Snoopy was a blast for the little ones while the girls joined Rachel on big roller coaster adventures!!




The flowers and trees were mesmerizing to me!!! So different than our sagebrush!!!



Carousel fun, over and over!!! Big rides Ella was ready for, just not tall enough!!






This was a 4 and the little ones were very scared. Yes. I "forced" them to go!! But they survived!!!! And I had a blast just thinking how terrified they were!!! I screamed bloody murder the whole time. At the end, Ella said she loved it!!! But she didn't.




We met up again for a snack break and water ride time!!





WE GOT WET!!!!! But it was very amusing!!! Ella got the wettest! Glad we had extra sweaters!! 





Rachel took the little kids to the sombrero spin ride while me, Christina, and Jay rode the most terrifying drop ride. I said my prayers to Jesus every 2 seconds. It was horrific!!!! But I would do it again 10 times!!!





We enjoyed a train ride as the sun started to go down. But all of the sudden... DRAMA!!! The train got robbed and randomly the cowboy wanted Maria to pull his finger?? Creepy!!!

Eli has been talking about the robbery to anyone who will listen!! He loved it!



Jay and Rachel = Couple goals
I loved watching him do things for her and how she talked about him with admiration and respect. It was nice to see!!




9PM sneaked up on us quick. We pretty much shut down the park with a dinner of tater tots, fries, dessert, and a glider ride on the neon pier!!






We walked to the car and grabbed some jam and pie on the way out.
On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a billion.
SO GOOD!!!



We had a wonderful time with our cousins. We are so blessed to have them as family and share these magical memories together!!!
