Last weekend we went to Knott’s to check out how they “springified” the park. There were a lot of faux flowers, but we didn’t end up finding the topiary garden.
We did watch the new spring show:
Charlie Brown strumming a spatula, a dancer/singer holding oversize marshmallows on a stick next to an inflatable bottle of relish, plus Justin Bieber music. Yup, that pretty much sums it up. (P.S. I actually did enjoy it).
It was very crowded so we skipped most of Camp Snoopy and went to the Sky Cabin. This was our first time together, and there was hardly a line.
It provided a nice view of the park.
k is just tall enough to go on some of the “big kid” rides now. (n was really sad he couldn’t go).
I guess D is a “big kid” too!
Afterward we ate dinner at Portillo’s.
That Chicago dog looks sloppy, but it definitely packs a flavor punch. The Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers was better than I remembered too.
I read favorable reviews of the strawberry shortcake, so I wanted to try it. However, when D picked up our order, the cashier asked if he wanted a free chocolate cake shake (of course he said yes), so we ended up taking the strawberry shortcake home for the next day. It was good, but I wouldn’t have a need to order it again.
The kids really enjoyed the shake. It was definitely sweet—I think they just blend up a piece of their chocolate cake, frosting and all, along with milk and ice cream? It tastes just like you would imagine.
