It was a beautiful day! The weather was  perfect! The lines were perfect! it was probably our least busiest day there! Zero crowds and with that we walked onto so many rides with not even a wait! It was amazing!
Lot's of picture taking is what I do best! lol and all my people are such great sports!
Love making memories with my favorite people! The action shots are so good too!
How fun is this!!! Penny's cute Brigham just happened to be on a baseball tournament with his club team down in Cali! ....and.... just so happened to be at Knott's on Friday the same day we were there! It was so fun to run into him! Of course we had to take all the pics! He is such a good time! The 2 of them got to ride a few rides together and see each other on and off through out the day! It was so exciting and fun for all of us! We love that Brigham so much! Such a great boy! 
Piper was able to ride almost everything and got so sad when she wasn't tall enough! She is such a dare devil! lol Not afraid at all! She even did the scary drop from the sky one 2 times in a row!  lol
Piggy back rides and bumper cars! We had the best day!
Non stop fun eating and riding!
Seriously the best day! Right at the end of the day still with zero lines Cash had been so scared of the Silver Bullet ride and would not go on it! We talked him into it and he was obsessed with it! Love it! So Cash and Blake rode the Silver Bullet 8 times in  a row! lol  Got off and back off with zero wait time! It was insane! I did it about 4 times in a row! lol Penny and Brigham rode it a few times in  a row together too  but it was just insane there was no lines for any of us!! So freakn awesome! 
Saturday! Down in San Diego we went to the ZOO!! Another one of our most favorite places to be! We love the zoo! We love all the animals! 
Walked and walked! The animals were extra silly this day! lol
Beautiful weather! Beautiful people! Beautiful animals!
The annual climb the camel pic! lol We have been doing this same pic for 16 years! lol The kids getting bigger each year! Love when I get my candy corn cotton candy! It is delicious!

More pics just wandering the zoo! We love all the food stops too! lol
Best day ever!
Finished the day with shopping the shop! Piper picked out her spirit  animal! Cash loved this little giraffe! Penny ended up with a the cutest animal safari tee! 
After the zoo we tried this cute yummy Pizza place for dinner! Got up Sunday and headed home! Before leaving San Diego we had to eat breakfast for the 2nd time this weekend at Crème De La Crepe! It was incredible! It will definitely be our new breakfast place when we come to San Diego for our annual trip! It's always sad when our trips have to come to an end but I sure love our traditions and making these memories! Sure love my people! My traveling people!

Piper sure had a busy wk with Dr's! She had fallen off the money bars and school and landed on her neck! So scary! We left school early so I could get her checked out! She could walk, no tingling and could mover her neck but was in pain and was posturing weird! So I was referred to a chiropractor to do a back and neck check on her! Wow! The best referral ever!  We love Dr. Brady! He is was amazing with Piper! He was able to adjust her back and adjust her neck back in place! It was slightly out do to the fall! I'm so happy we went and so grateful for this amazing referral! She is healing and feeling so much better! The next day she had an eye apt! I wanted to get a 2nd opinion because she kept complaining of headaches! Sure enough the glasses rx is too strong! This amazing Dr. spent 2 hrs with her! We were just at Sam's Club too for her apt! I was so impressed with her! She was so thorough and just wonderful! I'm so happy I got those eyes checked again! Poor baby! She is going to be able to see so much better and free of headaches!
