Today was going to be a long one. A hot, wet, frizzy, fast, GREAT ONE.
Silverwood is now becoming something of a tradition. It boasts itself as the "Northwest's Largest Theme Park." And, it is. The ginormous water-slide park and roller-coaster park are nearly as good as bubblegum ice-cream on the beach. Nearly.
We all arrived at 11, dressed to impress with our swimmy suits on under our coaster riding clothes, our 13 bags of towels, extra diapers, dry clothes, and the kitchen sink. We looked like our own traveling circus.
We ran to 'our spot' by the kiddie splash pad only to find that other people had taken the last of the covered spots without asking us. As I stood there in the sun trying to find another spot a nice gal snuck over to me and said that (our) spot could be ours if we wanted it. They were having a party and weren't really needing it. Three cheers for looking desperate!
That little gal got a candy-candy treat from me later.
We did the water slide/wave pool/rafting tube rides until the late afternoon. After a slight family tiff, it happens, we all cleaned up and headed for the roller-coasters.
Grandma and Grandpa took over Trent, who, by the way, was refusing to nap because he just wanted to be grouchy, so Dave, me, and the kids could play.
We ran off without Trenty like kids getting out of school. Love you Trent! LOVE YOU EVEN MORE GRANDMA AND GRANDPA!
The kids were bribed to go on some of the big ones. Big ones that go upside down. UPSIDE DOWN! Over all they impressed us and Dave owes each of them about $20 for their braveness.
We ended the evening at closing time and rushed home to crash in our beds, although, we could have kept playing there all night.
