What a fun month! Several years ago, we told our grandkids that when they turned 10 years old, we would take them on a trip in the motorhome where ever they wanted to go. Well, our oldest grandchild, Camryn is 10 and she wanted to go to the
Southern California amusement parks…….so away we went!
We had so much fun with Camryn…..we got to know her better and
she got to know us better!

Camryn has been to Disneyland several times……so we decided to skip Disneyland.
Our first stop was 6 Flags Magic Mountain just north of Los Angeles. Our first ride was X2…….rated the second most thrilling ride in America.
Yikes……pretty exciting for a Grandma!

We started at the parks first thing in the morning and stayed into the evening…….we went on so many rides! Magic Mountain had 16 world class roller coasters….
my head hurts just thinking about them.

to get on every ride…….and went to many shows.
Camryn’s favorite show was the “Pet Show”

Camryn’s favorite ride at Universal Studios was the Jurassic Park water ride…….we went on it 4 times. I got drenched every time!
Next stop, Knotts Berry Farm…..south of Los Angeles. My favorite ride was the Log Flume ride……..Camryn’s was the Supreme Scream! We stayed at Orangeland, a great RV park. We even got to pick oranges!
One day, we met Mike’s friend Neil, rented bicycles and rode the boardwalk on Newport Beach……..then took the ferry over to Balboa Island….Lots of fun!
Knotts Berry Farm has 9 world class roller coasters!
Next stop - Seaworld. The shows were fantastic! My favorite was the killer whale show……..Camryn’s favorite was the Pet show and the Porpoise show (Blue Horizons)
Our final park was the San Diego Wild Animal Park. This was our favorite. (for all of us) We went on a “Photo Caravan” that was awesome. We got to feed a giraffe. The guide on the caravan was just fantastic.
We all got to feed a rhinoceros……This is Camryn hand feeding a 5000 lb. rhino
who seemed as gentle as can be. Our trip was fantastic.
I hope we made memories that Camryn will remember forever.

When we returned from our trip, we spent a few days with Ben and Anna. Anna is playing soccer this year……She is 5 and starting kindergarden this year.
What a fun month!
