Finally....Silverwood!

It rained a little while we were at BoulderBeach. Too cold for us, so we headed for rides quickly!

We got there so "quick", that we spent a lot of time in lines......
Serves us right for waiting the whole summer to go.

Finally, a ride and we even got the hands up on the roller coaster!

Hanna is almost too tall for some of these rides, but wouldn't go on the big rides, so she would squish down to be able to go with Piper and Alizah.

The five blondies who had a BLAST at Silverwood!
Too Hanna's amazement she does not live in a family who deprives their children! She seemed to think that she was the only child who had never been to Silverwood. She begged and cried and guilted and what happend? It is not too much of a surprise to you is it? We took them on a Saturday at the end of the summer....we did this to just to ensure the adults in the group were about ready to pull their hair out by the end of the evening:) So here's the story...
We packed them sleeping into the car really early in the morning and drove to the closest Costco and sent them in with $20 and told them to pick something out. They thought we were taking me to the doctor and going shopping. We took them over to the Silverwood display and "happened" to run into their friends, Auna and Nikkia. Hanna then figured out what we were doing. We ended up having a great time at Silverwood and have again spoiled the kids!
The girls are actually in Idaho right now with the family. They flew home with Grandma Marsha and then we pick them up in Island Park on Labor Day. I've had a ton of meetings getting ready for the start of school. The girls will start the day we get back. I'm trying to wrap up summer and gut their rooms while they are gone! I miss them!! I got to talk to them today, but they are having too much fun riding horses, having tea parties, riding the motorcycle with Papa, and swimming with cousins.

Believe me it's so much easier to take your kids to an amusement park after they are in their 20's. But it looks like everyone had a fantastic time! It sounds like you are trying to pack too much work into the time your girls are gone. Slow down and relax - it will still be there tomorrow or the next week or the next week. Once they are gone you will have plenty of time - just not the energy.
