We made a spontaneous trip to southern CA this last weekend for some fun in the sun and to celebrate July 4th. After checking into our hotel we surprised the kids with a day at Knotts Berry Farm, we didn't tell them until they figured it out when we got there! We had a fun day enjoying the roller coasters and the other rides. We thought we lost Logan for a little bit which was really scary but it ended up that he was waiting by the exit for the older kids to get off the ride but they didn't know that and thought he had gone looking for us. After our moment of panic was over we ended up having a really good time and enjoying the cooler weather! The next day we headed up to our favorite beach, Salt Creek Beach and spent the entire day playing in the ocean and sand! Our experience has helped us learn not to take so much with us so the big hike up the hill at the end of the day isn't so bad! The kids had a great time boogie boarding and digging in the sand, even Lyndi & Trevor loved the waves this time. We had to keep our eye on Trevor constantly because he would run down the beach chasing the waves and forget where we were! After a full day at the beach we headed back to the hotel to clean up so we could brave the crowds and walk down to the pier to watch the fireworks. We were able to find great seats on the grass and enjoyed an awesome show. It was so nice to spend time together as a family, and escape the AZ heat! I think we are going to have to make this an annual tradition!
