</div>
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the year comes to a close, we like to look back into our photo albums to reflect on some of our family memories of the past. One of our favorite places to go while my son was growing up was Knott's Berry Farm. We would head over to the park quite frequently and since we're locals, we'd spend a few hours hanging out with the Peanuts Gang.</div>

As I look through these pictures they bring back so many happy memories and times that we spent together. We have photo after photo in Camp Snoopy. My son loved riding the rides that were made for little guys just his size. Perfect for the pint sized thrill seekers! Two of his favorites rides were the Joe Cool's GR8 Skate and Red Baron Flying Planes. He's been on those more times than I can count.<br />

Other special days spent at Knotts were during the holidays. It was always decorated so fun during Halloween and Christmas time. We made a tradition of visiting with Santa and having our photo taken each year with Jolly old Saint Nick. How I love thinking back to those times. </div>

This year we are starting a new family tradition. We haven't been to Knott's in years and when we heard about <a href="http://www.knotts.com/what-s-new/new-years-eve" target="_blank">Knott's New Years Eve Party</a>, we thought what better way to ring in 2013? It will be a first for us to experience Knott's on Dec 31st. We will be joining my sister and her family too which will be even more memorable. My son is a tween now, so I'm sure that his ride choices will have changed since the last time we were there. No worries, there are plenty of rollercoasters to choose from. We hear they have an awesome fireworks show too! For more info on the festivities at Knotts on New Year's Eve visit their website by clicking below:</div>

One more thing, I was amazed to find the <a href="http://www.knotts.com/season-passes" target="_blank">2013 season pass to Knott's Berry Farm costs only $66.99</a> and now through January 13, you can buy your pass with 6 payments of $11.16. Go online and buy your pass and start your family fun at Knott's Berry Farm today!!!</div>

My family and I went back in time entering the <a href="http://www.medievaltimes.com/buenapark/abouttheshow/thecastle.aspx" target="_blank">Medieval Times castle</a> for the premiere of the new show in Buena Park, CA. The new show has been almost 2 years in the making with exciting events including falconry, horsemanship, sword fights and live jousting. The IV ACT Show had us almost too excited to eat, we didn't want to miss a thing. And speaking of eating the food is great and have you heard there are no utensils? <a href="http://www.medievaltimes.com/buenapark/abouttheshow/billoffare.aspx" target="_blank">That's right this dinner is hands on, literally.</a> This is a HUGE hit with the kids (and husbands)! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://happyhourmom.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-new-with-shamu.html">One Ocean</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> comes another very special story. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><a class="external" href="http://www.turtle-film.com/" jquery1304705235051="86"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Turtle: The Incredible Journey.” </span></a></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="225" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/6648239?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vimeo.com/6648239"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Turtle: The Incredible Journey - Trailer</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> from </span><a href="http://vimeo.com/saveourseascom"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Save Our Seas Foundation</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> on </span><a href="http://vimeo.com/"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Vimeo</span></a>.<br />
The film is directed by National Geographic Explorer’s Nick Stringer and narrated by Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson. Stringer’s documentary team follows the loggerhead turtle on an adventure of more than 9,000 miles guided only by instinct. The crew spent two years following loggerhead turtles on their trips across the ocean, and have captured on film the remarkable life cycle of a beautiful creature that struggles to survive in an increasingly unforgiving environment.<br />
<br />
The film does what our parks have been doing for more than five decades: inspire, enrich and entertain. Helping bring this film and its powerful message of the fragility and beauty of our oceans to the public is what SeaWorld is and what we have always been about.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hNAkv2KCleo/TcRrV_ngUpI/AAAAAAAAA5o/NIv9gwMgDWQ/s1600/Turtle+Reef+Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hNAkv2KCleo/TcRrV_ngUpI/AAAAAAAAA5o/NIv9gwMgDWQ/s1600/Turtle+Reef+Logo.png" /></a></div>The film will be released to theaters in both standard theatrical formats as well as 3D in selected locations starting June 24. This is the the same week as the opening of <a href="http://seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-sandiego/Attractions/Exhibits/Turtle-Reef">SeaWorld San Diego’s <strong>Turtle Reef</strong></a>, a new attraction that showcases this extraordinary species in a 300,000-gallon aquarium with a massive underwater viewing gallery.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last time my family and I were at SeaWorld, we were so thankful to be treated to a SeaWorld private tour which included feeding turtles (from a distance) it was really neat to learn about them. </span><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">In partnership with The Autism Society, AMC Sensory Friendly Films are being brought to families affected by autism on a monthly basis to select communities. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">AMC is thrilled offer the program at many locations nationwide — <a href="http://www.amctheatres.com/uploadedFiles/Programs_and_Offers/Programs/Sensory%20Friendly%20Films%20Theatres%20122209.pdf">please click here</a> for a complete list of participating theaters. AMC should be proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a movie together — often for the very first time. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
