On October 17th we went to Knott's Berry farm which was decorated as Knott's Scary Farm. We seem to always celebrate my mom's birthday by going here ---or at least we did as kids. Elise and her sister met up with us and we had a blast. Thank heavens Kimberly was there to go on some crazy rollercoasters with me. I forgot how fun they are. Accelartion was my favorite but boy was it crazy. 0-83 mph in 1 second. Nuts I tell you. I figure I should enjoy it now while I'm somewhat young and not pregnant. Max loved going on the big train ride that went around the park-figures. This kid LOVES trains. His favorite rides were the train (the one you can pump with your arms), the ferris wheel and the big trucks since they had horns and rode on a track. Elise was a trooper and went with him on the trucker ride about 10 times while I went on some sweet roller coaster rides. My mom bought Audrey's Halloween costume for next year--cute green tu-tu and wings (tinkerbell). I bought my mom a cute bag with pics of knotts jam on it for her birthday. We met up with Josh for lunch at The Fried Chicken place where Max realized that he loves red jello. Then we went back to the park for more fun rides. My moms favorite ride was the swings and Max was bummed he wasn't tall enough or old enough to ride with Grammy.
A few days later for FHE we went to the Laguna Hills Mall Pumpkin Patch. Max loved the swings and since they were smaller he could ride them this time. He also mined for cool rocks/geodes, rode the train, and a pony. It looked like a Prop 8 convention was going on in the parking lot since many other people from our ward and stake went to the pumpkin patch for FHE too. We love this time of year and enjoy doing all these fun Fall activities.

Happy Birthday to your mom!! I haven't been to Knott's in YEARS!!! I need to go one of these times I come to visit.
That was such a fun day at Knotts! I'm glad you were there to ride the roller coasters with Kimber, too, so I didn't have to!
We sure had a blast!
