Our Silverwood Experience

 
Posted by Picasa


We had a great time at Silverwood a few weeks ago; even time spent in the car and our hotel was fun. It was really hot (like in the hundreds), so we had the most fun in the wave pool. Daddy taught us how to dive under the waves (like we were in the ocean), but those things just kept coming (and they were HUGE!!). We also got to go on some big coasters (Timber Terror, Tremors, Corkscrew (Maeghan and Mikaila went on that thing about 20 times on Saturday), and the new Aftershock (only Mommy, Daddy, and Mikaila went on that one... Megs and I were waaaaay too scared). We also got soaked on the Thunder Canyon ride! The best part for me was the end of the day on Saturday when Mommy bought us some cotton candy (it was pink and purple... hello... the colors totally make it taste better) and then we got to go on the carousel. Twice. Well, the first ride we took on that thing was kinda doofy, because me and Megs both picked horses that didn't even move. What's the point? So we got to go again, and that was cool.
We also got to spend some time both Saturday and Sunday at the new Cabela's store in Post Falls. Even though it was Mommy who spent the money there, I think it was my dad's favorite part of the whole trip. Do you know they have real fish is a big aquarium there? Also they have this shooting gallery where you get to shoot fake guns at targets. And they have a couple of different places (mom called them kiosks) where you can play hunting video games (like Cabela's Big Game Hunter). And there is this whole mountain in the middle of the store with a bunch of animals (dead and stuffed) all over it. That was pretty neat to see. Mikaila said that here favorite part was listening to the guy who was demonstrating the elk call... for about 2 straight hours... both days. Mikaila is so funny!
