Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City! #SoakCityOC

Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City!

By Erin

The other week the weather was beyond scorching hot. Imagine my delight when I got an invite to attend a media event to come enjoy Knott’s Soak City OC on opening day last weekend. I was ecstatic to get the chance to be able to cool off after these insane 100+ degree days in MAY! I have always enjoyed swimming and spending my summers in a pool, ocean, river, lake, water park, slip in slide or whatever other source of water I could get into.

This summer, I plan to do more of the same. So come join me and relax by the water at Knott’s Soak City, a 13-acre water park adjacent to Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park. Experience the wave pool or cruise in the lazy river. If you’re a bit more daring enjoy the 17 speed, tube, and body slides.  If you prefer to live on the wild side, try the Pacific Spin, which drops you  into a 75 foot, six-story funnel! You will find me floating around at Sunset River, the lazy river at Knott’s Soak City.

Take a look here at some of the fun you can find here!

Look at all the super cool stuff at the Wipe Out Surf Shop inside Knott’s Soak City OC! I love the mermaids and the dolphins! Those Big Squirts look like a lot of fun too, especially since you can use them in the park. They even have filling stations to fill up your Big Squirts at! 😉

Million Dollar Arm: A Story Filled With Dreams, Second Chances, and More.

Million Dollar Arm: Dreams, Second Chances, & More.

By Erin

*I attended a media/press junket for the purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

When I first heard about the movie, Million Dollar Arm, I didn’t know what to think or expect. Another baseball film based on a true story…. ok… Oh!! Jon Hamm is in it? Sure! I’ll go see it! I was pleasantly surprised and blown away by this film. It is not just another sports movie. It is also about relationships, family, second chances, and making dreams come true. Now, come with me to Beverly Hills and let’s see what the stars of the show had to say about Million Dollar Arm. In attendance was Jon Hamm (“JB Bernstein”), Lake Bell (“Brenda Paauwe”), the real JB Bernstein, the real Rinku Singh, Joe Roth (Producer) and Gordon Gray (Producer).

Million Dollar Arm

First we chatted with the producers of the film. When discussing about how it is more than just a sports movie Gordon Gray had this to say.

Gordon Gray: I mean for us this is a movie really about JB as a fish out of water going to India with his crazy scheme, leaving a single guy, a bachelor having a fun life and then through the evolution of this development with the players, becoming a surrogate father and ultimately opening up his heart to find love and marriage.

Joe Roth was asked what attracted him to this project.

Joe Roth: Everything attracted me to this project. And I love the second chance stories and I love fish-out-of-water stories and I, I love the idea that I’m sitting in a movie theater and I’m thinking wow if these two guys can accomplish that, I can get up out of here when the lights get on and I can accomplish almost anything.
