Silverwood

We kicked off our DRIVE (yes, DRIVE) to Portland with a trip to Silverwood Amusement Park in Idaho. It was a great opportunity to tucker the kids out before the 7 hours drive from there to Portland. They had a fantastic time first at the amusement park and then at the water slides!

Brighton was hysterical. Initially, she was with Bella in an airplane on this ride. Suddenly, she decided she would ride all by herself. She hopped out of Bella's plane and Bella, who did NOT want to ride by herself, hopped in with Max.

Silverwood boasts several HUGE roller coasters. AT this point, both Bella and Max were going to ride Timber Terror. Bella promptly backed out when she saw it, Max, on the other hand, went on the coaster with his dad and thought he was super cool for not crying.

We then spent some time at the water park, which was a hoot. The kids loved going down the inner-tube slides with Mom and playing in the wave pool (pictured above). Brighton played in kiddie land and then slept on her daddy's chest for a good hour.

I couldn't resist throwing this picture in of Brighton's little bootie. She's growing up so fast!
