There is no better time to enjoy Southern California weather like there is in the summer time! The weather is perfect for spending time outdoors. I love combining fun with history don’t you? What better place is there to enjoy the summer time sun than at an important California’s history fixture – our very first amusement park Knotts Berry Farm?
Did you know that Knott’s Berry Farm is special to Southern California history? As many of you know, Knott’s Berry Farm started off as a berry farm in the 1920’s by Walter and Cordelia Knott. However, did you know that Mrs. Knott served eight of her now infamous fried chicken dinners on her wedding china for only $0.65 each to help end meet during the depression? The dinners became a fast and popular hit and to entertain the waiting Chicken Dinner restaurant patrons, Mr. Knott created the Ghost Town in the 1940’s. Mrs. Knott’s friend chicken dinner restaurant now serves more than 1. 5 million guests each year, and is the largest full-service restaurant that serves chicken as its main course. It’s safe to say that Mrs. Knott’s famous fried chicken dinners was the gateway to the very first amusement park!
Snoopy is elbowing me in the gut

I was not compensated for this post in any way. All opinions are of my own. I would also like to mention that it took me over 2 hours to write this post because my brain is heavily fogged in sleep deprivation.
Winner: Jill by random.org with this comment- “Linus! I think my twins would LOVE Knott’s!” Congratulations. (Winner was notified via email).
Linus! He reminds me of my nephew who has a blue blankie, sucks his thumb and has similar logic (explains things very precisely).
The kids area at Knott’s is AMAZING fun as is the old train and the stagecoach! Even if you don’t win passes, you should go!!!
I think my favorite is Pigpen maybe just because people always seem to like him, but he is never anyone’s favorite.
Woodstock, he is a true and loyal friend to snoopy through any adventure!!
my favorite is charlie brown because he has a big heart.
We LOVE Knott’s Berry Farm. My favorite is of course..Snoopy!
Love Snoopy because he is a crazy adventurous dog.
I love Linus 😉
awww, the peanuts characters.
I love Snoopy for his sense of humor and the silly Mwah Mwah teachers.
Snoopy. Snoopy Snoopy Snoopy. Although i do also have a soft spot for PigPen- we had a plaque in the bathroom growing up with him on it.
I love Woodstock because he wins the river rafting race! As a child my parents bought me a stuffed Woodstock and one day he got left outside and it rained. I will never forgot finding him all wet and ruined.
Linus! I think my twins would LOVE Knott’s!

Love Lucy. Independent, thinking, woman who knew what she wanted. What’s not to love?
I love Pigpen because he is just adorable! Sometimes my daughter reminds me of him when she has spent the day outside.
Snoopy has and continues to be mine. He’s a dog which makes him unconditionally lovable but he’s feisty like my dog was – just a real character!
Charlie Brown is my favorite character.
Schroeder because he plays the PIANO!
I like Snoopy because he is cute
Lucy! She is resourceful, friendly, true hearted! We should all have a Lucy in ourselves!
I am a big fan of Snoopy!! I always wanted a dog like him 🙂
LUCY of course! She’s an obnoxious, abrasive, outspoken brat and I love that about her. You know there is a wee bit of Lucy in me. I love that picture of us up there. Hope the sleep deprivation isn’t warping you too badly. By the way, after our Knott’s Brunch adventure, I went back and had a chicken dinner at Mrs. Knotts another day – it was so delicious!!
I <3 Schroeder! Musicians rock 🙂
Oh no! I forgot to say why….can you please delete my other comment? I like Snoopy b/c I used to watch with my dad all of the time….Our fav. film was Snoopy Come Home
Snoopy b/c he is the cutest and most <3 loving <3 Doggie he is Funny and a great friend. Cute cartoon all together we love it.~ we never been to Knott’s Berry Farm our kids would love to go and us big kids too 😉 <3
So fun! I love Linus because he’s adorable and he has a snuggly blanket.
I love Marcie! She is quiet and studious, slow to anger but can lose her temper when she is pushed too far. Oh and she wore glasses, is it me or does anyone else think she looks like Billie Jean King?
Linus, we call Declan that because he’s always sucking his thumb and holding his blanket.
Dont ride Ghostrider after having lunch …not a good idea…other than that its a great ride!!!!
I hace never been, so this alune be a great excuse to bring the family 🙂
My favorite Peanuts character is Snoopy! I love him because of his human-like personality, silly laugh, and funny antics. When I was a child I had a Snoopy doll you could dress in authentic Snoopy clothes purchased from Hallmark, and I also had a Snoopy watch. How could anyone not like Snoopy? : )
WoodStock!!!! Hands Down! Cute, tiny, yellow, bird of few words!
