At the end of last year we decided to buy annual passes to Knott’s Berry Farm. The pass is good for every day in 2013 plus one free day in 2012 (although you have to pay for parking in 2012, even if you buy the parking pass, which I thought was sneaky). So far we have gone two times and it has been lots of fun. The kids are at a good age to thoroughly enjoy Camp Snoopy, and n is tall enough for all of the rides there. D and I are planning to go on our own for a few date nights to experience all of the roller coasters. n was traumatized by his first go on the Log Ride, I think because we didn’t adequately prepare him for it. The look of sheer terror on his face as captured by the log cam was hilarious. Now it’s closed for refurbishment until May, so maybe by then he will be recovered! The following are pictures combined from both of our visits so far.
I think we’ll make it our goal to have pictures taken with all of the Peanuts gang. We’re off to a good start. D even referred to Peppermint Paddy as “Sir”. 
The first time we went, all of the Christmas decorations were up.
We watched someone make maple lollipops on a bed of ice (didn’t try it, though).
Watched an impressive production of Snoopy on Ice.
And watched a “Winter Wonderland” production at Camp Snoopy.
It was a little drizzly, which was great at keeping the crowds away. We hardly waited in any lines.
It was a lot more crowded this past weekend. However, we didn’t get there until the afternoon, which may explain some of the difference.
New show at Camp Snoopy: Country Hoedown.
The Huff n Puff: Great workout for the kiddos.
Like father, like son.
The first time we went, we were planning to go to Portillo’s. However, since it was well past our normal lunchtime, we heeded the call of Pink’s, which is just outside the gates. We’ve never been to the LA location, so I’m not sure how it compares. They are spendy for hot dogs, but they do not skimp on the portions.
