Every year,
Knott's Berry Farm honors Police and Fire personnel with a month-long tribute. Officers and a guest get in free and additional family gets in at a discounted rate. Taylor won a raffle at school so she and Allison were free too!
Before the park officially opens, everyone pauses for the National Anthem played over the intercom as part of the special tribute.
Then it is off to the coasters...we headed right for Jaguar, our favorite in the park. It is the only one that all four of us will do together!
When we got off the ride, there was no one else in line, so we jumped on again.
We made our way to Boomerang, but Allison chickened out after watching in line, so Matt braved that one alone. He said it was probably a good thing! The girls could do these swings all day. Allison spreads her arms and legs out as wide as possible and flies like a bird. Taylor, however, holds the chains most of the time:)
Lines started getting pretty long later in the day, so we spent some time walking through Camp Snoopy and Ghost Town.
There are lots of great shops and kiosks and even better people watching from this bench!
If only this hat came in a bigger size! By 2:30, the place was packed and we don't do crowds well, so we made our way home. I would have been disappointed if we would have paid to get in, but we had a good time and appreciated the free entry. It was nice seeing so many heroes honored and we are grateful to have one in our family!
