Splashing Around

One highlight from summer that deserves its own post was our one-day trip to Silverwood, an amusement and water park all rolled into one. Silverwood is situated in northern Idaho which is about a three hour drive for us. So over the river and through the woods we went, nine kids and three adults. A cousins trip it was. All the girls in one car with Craig at the wheel for a pre-tween dance party. In the other car was me and my sister, Des, driving three almost teenage boys.

When the car lurched to a stop the kids exploded out of the car and struck a pose indicating they were ready for anything.

Driving with the three boys I noticed something, boys at this age stink. They stink like vegetable beef soup. Boys make up for their smell in the fact that they sure can laugh, full blown belly laughs...

that cause others to open their mouths real wide a laugh until it hurts.

The cause of so much fun...

A crazy wild river ride.

Splashing around was fun but...

The underwater camera stole the show. Here they are the fishkateers.
