This past weekend we found ourselves back in a very familiar place, Knott's Berry Farm. It was opening weekend for their all new Taste of Boysenberry Festival, and it was so amazing to be back. 

If you've been following us for awhile you'll know that we really haven't been up to much over the past year, for obvious reasons. But we're so glad you've all stuck with us now that we feel semi-comfortable being out in the world again. 

We hope you're ready for some gratuitous food pics, because they're coming right at ya. And we'll end with the top 5 food items we tried! 

Hi Knott's! It's so good to be back! We're ready for all the Boysenberry stuff! 

Our first stop was of course for some Boysenberry Dippin Dots, and they were amazing! 

Backstory on the shirt, my sister got me this shirt and gave it to me when we picked her up for this event, and I just had to wear it! Got so many comments on it throughout the day. 

Last weekend we were invited out to the Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival to take in the festivities and of course the food. 

The event is growing each year and is definitely popular. We of course had an amazing time, but we also do have a few things we'd like to see updated since the event is growing so much, things to alleviate some of the growing pains. 

I think this is the right place

Let's get to eating!! 

Our first stop was for a waffle and chips with ice cream. You know, for Breakfast. Both were good, although the Waffle needed something, and that something is the ice cream. We got the chips later in the day and they were just as good.

​Both are found at the Ghost Town Bakery. 

Three things we got to try at the tasting preview, and they were just as good, if not better than they were then.

​All Three are available at Wagon Wheel Pizza across from Ghostrider. 

Something that we didn't know was coming, and isn't on your tasting card, but is delicious, found in Spurs Chop House. 

They are made to order, which is nice. I will say though, if we got this again we'd get it without the Hummus. I think that's part of the Shawarma, but I think we would have preferred a bit less of it. 

After eating all that food, it was time to take in some of the sights. 

Spring has sprung 

Goatses 

The merch game was on point 

Definitely my philosophy 

Cannot recommend the Boysenberry Cobbler enough. It's super easy and super good. 

Yo, Yo, Yo ... that's my jam

Our faces all day

You can smell the boysenberries as you approach, so if you want to smell like boysenberries after a bath, get all this stuff. 

And then of course, wrap yourself in your boysenberry towel

The wine and Beer tasting was back, although we have to say the "pours" you'd get with the tasting card were very inconsistent. By the end of the day you'd pretty much get a "shot" of Boysenberry beer. 

The chili was a hit in our group (Outside Wilderness Dance Hall)

As was the sausage (also found Outside Wilderness Dance Hall)

It's not very often you could spend all day at a theme park, only ride 2 rides and feel like you had a full day, but you can at the Boysenberry Festival

Green Frog, Blue Frog, Green Frog ... 

Purple Fly? 

We didn't catch the Jam-Boree, but I'm sure it's great for those who are into that kind of thing

BOBA!!! (Starbucks inside the park) 

Let's get back to the food, skirt steak skewer (also towards the front of the park) 

Chicken Wings (by Ghostrider)

Chicken Skewer (Indian Trails) 

Pulled Pork Fries (Calico Fry Co) 

Alright, we have a bit of a Rapids Construction update below, but before we get to that, we also have our top 5 food items to share: 

Let's take a look at the Rapids construction, there are finally a few walls up

Not a whole lot of visible work in this area 

They are definitely doing some work in the queue 

Alrighty, that's gonna wrap it up. We will probably head back to the park for more Boysenberry food at least once more during the Boysenberry Festival, probably in a few weeks. Be sure you head out to the park to check it out. You won't be disappointed. 

More details about the Boysenberry Festival can be found here.

This past Tuesday we were invited out to Knott's Berry Farm for an evening of tastings featuring many new items that will be available at this years Boysenberry Festival. 

Among the delectable eats were some truly tasty treats, many flowing drinks and of course, all the fun that Knott's has to offer. 

We also have a quick park update before we get started on the food. 

Welcome to Knott's!! 

Every time we try and ride Jaguar it seems to go down. But we rode it hundreds of times during Coasting for Kids so we probably are good to not ride this again, ever. 

A must-ride, every visit. Usually more than once. 

Over at the Timber Mountain Log Ride, they've made some nice updates to the Fast Lane process. 

Previously Fast Lane would go through the exit, which created issues for those exiting the logs, and probably a safety issue as well. 

Now the entrance is through the regular line

The regular line gets held on the right under the sign, while Fast Lane goes to the left. 

They wait for the line to pass the cave before letting the next group go. 

It actually seemed to work really well, hopefully they're thinking of ways to make Fast Lane better at some of the other rides. Namely Montezoomas Revenge and the Rapids. 

Unfortunately HangTime was down all day. 

Pony Express was also getting some offseason love. 

Speaking of the rapids, some work is definitely going on, we could hear them pounding away at something. 

Could be another reason Pony Express was closed. 

Lots of room for new landscaping or other things. 

They were working on the queue 

Not sure how well you can see them, but there are ropes strung across in a few areas here. Not sure what they are for. 

The Galloping Goose was out, always a nice treat. 

Alright, let's get on with the food. 

The first of three videos where we talk about all of the food we tried. Don't worry, we cut out the part where we eat the food. Nobody needs to see that. =) 

Boysenberry Tostada with pulled pork. Super delicious. 

Boysenberry Salmon, nice and tasty. 

Boysenberry Habanero Mac and Cheese. This was a hit, and we can't wait to have it again soon. 

Jambalaya. It was quite good. Everything a Jambalaya should be. Didn't taste much Boysenberry, but that was ok. 

Chili in a Boysenberry Bread Bowl. Fantastic Chili. Yummy Bread Bowl. 

Chicken and Flank Steak skewers. We actually preferred the chicken, but both were very good. 

Boysenberry Pot Roast and Boysenberry Mashed Potatoes. 

Both were melt in your mouth good. Josh doesn't usually like Mashed Potatoes, but he loved these. 

Boysenberry Hummus. Think this is a carry-over from last year, but it was fantastic. The pita was perfect. 

Knott's also announced that an all new Boysenberry Pie Frozen Yogurt will be available at ALL Yogurtland locations (yes, that one down the street from you) beginning on March 18th. 

​It's so worth it. 

Lastly and certainly not least, is the Berry Beast. 

Be sure to check out the video on how this thing was born. 

Some great merchandise will be available as well

Back again is the Tied Up In Knott's display which showcases some great artwork featuring Knott's history. 

Some really fantastic art on display. 

This Walter Knott art is sure to go very quickly. 

Same with the Catawampus. 

This is all so good, we'd be surprised if it's not all sold the very first day of the Festival. 

Some great Beary Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs art

Classic Knott's 

Thanks to Knott's for having us out, we had a fantastic time, ate too much, caught up with great friends and we can't wait to do it again soon!!
