Silverwood!

We spent a great weekend with our friends the Andrews up at Silverwood! We traveled up Friday morning...early...which made for a long day. (Won't do that again.) Luckily, our friends were nice enough to pitch our tent for us, making it a bit quicker to get in the park. Kassi was pretty disappointed not to be able to get on the big rollar-coasters. The ones she could have rode were LONG lines (1.5-2 hrs). I was surprised at how daring my older two were...they got on the spinning contraption where you stand...Mikenna dared a few twirly rides...I tried a few, but decided to pass on them. So, me, Mikenna and Kassi enjoyed the kiddie rides. We did hop on the ferris wheel. A bit scary, especially when Kassi would bend over to scratch her toes...Mikenna didn't quite like that either. While we were at the top, it started swinging a bit again...Mikenna screamed, "Kassi, don't scratch!!" but it wasn't Kassi's fault that time...we caught a glimsp of Mike and the girls from the top...
We were able to spend a few hours at Boulder Beach depite the cooler temps. Of course we loved the lazy river and snagged a few tubes right at the beginning. Afterwards the bigger girls spent a while at the wave pool and even got to go down a few slides. In the pic below, I think Jason is on the left and Kiera on the right. Mikenna and Kassi hung out with me at the kiddie area...Mikenna even braved going under the raining mushroom!! She would hold her breathe (while puffing out her cheeks) and walk through.
Once it got colder, we dried off and watched the magic show...caught a few more rides...Mikenna crashed before we got back to camp...ate a quick dinner...and then we all slept...I caught a few pics of how be began the night in our tent...and then how it ended up the next morning. Kassi is horizontal, and Kaylee slipped off the mattress entirely.
The next day...we enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast (so glad the Andrews had their camper, esp. since fires were not allowed :( The kids enjoyed catching the numerous grasshoppers...even made a "hotel" for them out of an empty box. I thought it was a bit disgusting. We tried finding a trail for bike riding...did find one, but it ended up being much shorter than we'd thought...headed back to camp, showered, relaxed, ate dinner, relaxed some more...once the kids were in bed we played a few games (learned Canasta) then off to bed...

Fun packed weekend with Friends!! Can't wait to do it again!!
