Disneyland With a Hint of Knott's

 May 3-6, 2012

Disneyland....

Lauren awoke long before the sun to load the bus with her fellow cheerleaders to win big at the Sharp International cheer competition that was taking place at Knott's Berry Farm. We decided that we would  take advantage of this opportunity to have fun and watch Lauren compete so after dropping her at the bus, we snoozed for a few more hours than began our drive. My parents and sister Tiffany & kids also came along. Lauren's schedule was:
Thursday: Disneyland
Friday: Knott's Berry Farm
Saturday: Competition
Our schedule was:
Thursday & Friday: Disneyland
Saturday: Knott's & watch competition
So, we didn't see much of Lauren, but she was having a great time with her friends. Instead of riding the bus home, we took her with us after the competition and she went with us to Disneyland on Sunday.

Knott's Berry Farm

 It's been quite a few years since we have stepped foot in this park. They keep it clean, there are some scary roller coasters, and the price is right. The problem? Lack of efficiency. You wait in line forever because there is no rhythm to their system. You have to line yourself up, hope you ride with your party, and most rides only had one or two cars going. So that frustrated me. All in all it wasn't that bad. We rode rides and watched Lauren perform in the theatre. Her team won a bunch of stuff- they were great!!
