Silverwood

 

We took the day off yesterday to go to Silverwood.  We started the day with the "dry" rides.

 

 

Bumper boats were first...they didn't turn out to be so "dry" after all.

 

Marc even participated.

 

Marc worked hard to soak the girls.

 

Marcus got soaked by people on the sidelines.

 

Sibling fights...

 

Marcus was so wet but loved it!

 

We decided since the kids were already so wet we'd just head to Boulder Beach....the water park.

 

The wave pool was a hit.  Marcus proved to be a good surfer.

 

Look at him go!

 

Cruzy was there too! 

 

The girls hung out with Kaydin.

 

Kristin, Ryan, Marc and I had front row seats to keep an eye on the kids.

 

Those waves were so fun.

 

Olivia, Kaydin and Emma soaking up the sun.

 

The kids got a little cold so we went back to our picnic table for some snacks and sun.

 

Teamwork...off to another water park adventure.

 

They had water slides the perfect size for these kids...here's Emma.

 

Olivia had a blast too.

 

Go Marcus Go!

 

Then it was off to the big slides...I waited over 45 minutes to get the perfect picture...when the boys finally came down I was so excited to finally see them I almost cut them out of the picture! 

 

I did a little better with the girls.  I unfortunately forgot my swim suite bottoms so didn't participate in the water activities...I just acted as photographer for the day.

 

The big slides were next...There's Ryan coming down the middle slide.

 

Marcus actually went down one of these slides too!  No surprise I guess; he will do just about anything!

 

Marc tried the big slide too...weeeee....

 

And little Emma went down a big slide as well!  I was surprised by this one...

 

She said she was nervous but glad she did it...her exact words were "now I know I can do anything!"  Oh boy!

 

Everyone decided to do the Lazy River next.  Kaydin, Emma and Olivia started out sharing a raft.

 

Marc and Ryan sure enjoyed this.

 

The kids got soaked!  Marcus and Cruzy loved this.

 

Emma ended up hanging out with Marc and just relaxed down the Lazy River.

 

We had a little photo bomb during family photos...nice one Cruzy :-)

 

Here we are without the photo bomb.

 

What a great day!  The kids were so overly tired and wired at the same time once it was time to go home...hard to get a group kid photo in those conditions :-)  So glad we did this!  What a great way to end the summer break!
