Silverwood Adventure

This week we took a trip to Coeurd'alene, ID. There is a theme/water park there that we had heard about and wanted to check out. We went with our friends the Vendelins. The trip was lots of fun, but not super relaxing! The kids wanted to see and do everything the park had to offer! Here they all are as we entered the park....not too thrilled that Mom made them sit for a photo! They wanted to get the show on the road!

Some of the kids' favorite rides were the bumper boats and the log ride. The bumper boats were especially fun because they were able to spray each other with water....I opted out at the last minute after seeing everyone get off the ride dripping wet. It wasn't that warm yet!






Super cute girls!!!!




.......and boys!





After napping for most of the swimming time, Sadie enjoyed being in the water with Daddy and crawling around in the toddler area!




Ava loved swimming in the wave pool with Daddy!





Our friends the Gilmores who have moved to Coeurd'alene met us at the park for the day. Here is a picture with 2 of their girls. It was especially fun for Ella to reconnect with a friend from the past!


Here's a picture of Ava as all of the adults were discussing who was going to take her potty....I guess we didn't have time for a discussion. OOPS! We told her to hurry and get back in the water!




Sadie and I spent quite a bit of time waiting while everyone stood in line and went on rides.....it was still fun though. Someday she'll get her turn.












We ended our long day with a ferris wheel ride. I think of all the kids, Ava liked it the most! Who would have thought she was such a little dare-devil! What a fun trip! We will definitely go there again!
