Knott's Berry Farm... Sounds familiar? Not to everyone. This is an entertainment park, not as huge in size and popularity as Disneyland or Six Flags but it definitely has been around for more than two decades. I have heard people say, 'I haven't been here since I was 5!', and those were about 35-40 year-olds. Anyway, the experience was pretty awesome. Steve and I enjoyed 6 rides 2 or which were totally-crazy-fast-upside-down-kind which gave us both headaches when we were finally back on the ground:) But it was so much fun that it was worth both the wait in the long lines and the headaches afterwards:) However the best part was that we didn't have to pay neither for entrance and parking nor for the dinner - we got it all complimentary from Steve's work - 'yea!' to Samsung!

Looks like summer is really here, and it's not due to the weather... because it is pretty much always hot and sunny in this part of the world - that's the blessing and (to some) a curse of living in southern California. It is the activities and events, things you do and places you go that define summertime. All our weekends thoroughly planned with all kinds of fun events months ago are now finally being experienced one by one bringing us enormous amounts of enjoyment! Last Friday I got to see a baseball game, finally! For the first time in my life a real baseball game! And I was finally able to understand what baseball is about... it never seemed to make sense to me before why it's so popular watch one guy throw the ball and the other try hitting it with a 'stick' and missing it most of the time:) The Game was between Dodgers and Angels, the former won of course - hurray! It was pretty impressive, I have never seen that many people in one place before... all kinds of weird people... but I guess, sports fans are all a bit weird especially when they go to a game:) and the parking lot was probably bigger than the stadium itself, at least it took us longer to walk through it in search of our car than to walk around the stadium in search of our seats:)

I never thought that I would be doing this... never having been a fan of blogs myself. But I have seen other people do it and how great it works out for those who want to enable their friends to be a part of their lives without time consuming update emails and thousands of pictures that everyone wants to see! So, I'm opening our family blog now to share our thoughts, plans, events and photos. Now this is the first time I'm doing this and being a novice in blogging, as I move forward, I hope to learn more about how to improve this page and make it more interesting.
