The kids have been reading all year long in order to earn their Silverwood tickets. They have been so excited and then the day was was finally here. We measured each kid to see how much they had grown since last year. There were a couple of rides on this list that they hadn't been tall enough for last summer. Elijah was ecstatic to find out that this was the year he would be able to ride the Corkscrew and Grace was excited to be able to ride Thunder Canyon. This year we were going to join the Kipps at the amusement park and the kids could barely contain their excitement. There was singing and laughing all the way to the park.
First ride up, the Corkscrew of course. If you look closely at the first car you'll see Ryan and Ella Kipp and right behind them is Jason and Elijah.
They survived and of course Elijah wants to ride again!
Next is Thunder Canyon. Ryan was the awesome parent who took the kiddos down this one.
They are soaked clear through! But, it was definitely worth it!
I still can't believe that Grace braved the Panic Plunge. She got in line with Ryan, Laura, and Ella. I fully expected that she would bail at the last minute, but she didn't. She got in her seat, buckled up and off she went.
So, so, so high!
The first thing she said to me when she got off the ride was "NEVER AGAIN! But at least I can say I did it!" Yes she can - brave girl!
The log ride is must at every visit! Unfortunately for the riders, there was a guy camped out at the sprayer pumping in quarters each time the logs came by. He must have gone through a roll of quarters, but he definitely succeeded in getting everyone as wet at they could on this ride!
Then, it was time for Boulder Beach. It really wasn't the warmest day, as you can see everyone is wearing pants. But, that wasn't going to stop the kids from playing at the water park. Thank Ryan and Dad for taking the kids on all the slides!
Yes they are freezing!
Time for a warmer activity. This was another ride that the kids haven't been tall enough to ride in the past. So, it was definitely awesome getting to ride it this year!
Now this is the kind of cold I can handle! Ice Cream at the end of an awesome trip to Silverwood is a must. You can't leave without getting some!
