We went to Silverwood for the first time this weekend. You had such an amazing time. Russell was too little for any of the rides so he got to stay home and spend time with Grandma Karen and Grandma Darrlyn. He went to the retirement center with Grandma Karen and played ball with all the grandmas there. They loved on him and I'm sure he made their day as he makes mine all the time. He also got to go to the toy store with Grandma Darrlyn and made a few picks.
Silverwood was even better than we hoped it would be. In fact, we probably should have stayed for two days. We didn't have nearly the time to do all the things that we wanted to do. We went down the log ride twice which was one of my favorite rides as a kid. The three of you loved that ride. Kaylee made me hold her tight the whole way down. I kept pretending I was going to put my hands in the air and she wasn't going to have it. She just grabbed my hands and held them tight around her.
We got soaked in the bumper boats, we spent WAY to long waiting in line and riding the farris wheel, we ate a pretty amazing ice cream cone. I think food always tastes better in theme parks! We rode the train. All three of you LOVED the train. It was a really good show this year. The robbers were hilarious. Kaylee loved the marshal on the train. She even said she was going to miss that lady when we were driving home. Hunter got scared at one point on the train and covered his face with both of his hands. Kaylee made us laugh the hardest though on the train. The marshal pretended to push one of the robbers down a well. The other robber was on a high platform and asked the train riders "did she push my friend down the well?!" Everyone on the train yelled "NO!" The robber said, "I heard some YESSES!" and started firing his gun at the marshal. Kaylee panicked that we were going to get fired on and screamed "YES! SHE DID!" She started crying and we had to overly reassure her it was just an act. It was probably the most adorable thing ever.
We also went to Boulder Beach. It was probably the most fun. We wish we would have spent more time there. The wave pool was super fun and we went down Avalanche Mountain in a giant tube and totally loved it.
After Silverwood we drove to Sandpoint and had dinner with Aunt Chelsea. Hunter was sick and ended up falling asleep on my lap at the restaurant. I think that he had a little bit of a virus and a little bit of heat stress.
On the way home we stopped at a new restaurant. We were hesitant about it. It was the Golden Corral. It ended up being so yummy! It was a breakfast buffet. They had the best food! All three of you were thrilled about getting your own plates. They even had a chocolate fountain, a white chocolate fountain, and cotton candy! Connor made the table behind us giggle so incredibly hard when he came to our table with a cup full of chocolate from the fountain. Just full to the brim. He had every intention of drinking it. I told him we were not going to do that and sent him back to get some dippers that he could dip in it. It was pretty comical really. We liked the restaurant so much we had Daddy take a picture of us in front of it. The only picture we got on our whole trip.
I love taking vacations with you! I can't wait for the next one!
