silverwood 2011


Of course our summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to Silverwood Theme Park and this year we had great weather for it.

We went back and forth from the theme park to the water park and I think the water park was more of a favourite this year, especially the lazy river. Kye liked this the best because he could sit on top of someone in their tube and have only his feet in the water so that he didn't get quite so cold. He is a hot tub guy, even in summer!

And everybody liked pulling their tubes in to the swim-up bar for slushy drinks!



At first Mackinon thought it was very funny to push people over in their tubes, until he was leaning way over in his tube trying to push Uncle Jody over and he completely flipped himself forward into the water! HE came up sputtering mad, sure that Aaron had dumped him. It took about half an hour for him to get over it and I still don't think he believed his Dad was innocent!
But it's pretty hard not to have fun at a place that looks like this!

It was even better this year because Kye and Wyatt were just barely tall enough to go on the waterslides. The best is definetly the group waterslide, I thought maybe I could take photos of us with my water camera as we were going down the slide, but that proved to be impossible, I was too busy shrieking. Aaron thought he could do it, but apparently that didn't work either, I have photos of lots of yellow and blue blur!




The theme park was fun too, especially all the sugary treats and we even managed to find jedi double lightsabres when it started to get dark, they were good for many hours of entertainment on our trip! There was even a mini one for little Ownie One One!




And Kye figured out that it was more fun to spray the riders than to ride the rides! At various rides you can put a quarter into a water gun machine and spray the people on the ride. Well, after last year, Mo came prepared with a whole roll of american quarters and while his dad, brother and cousin were on the bumper boats Kye and Uncle Jody went nuts with the water guns, you could just hear Kye screaming, "More Money, Uncle!, More Money!" Mackinon, who is just a little bit stuborn, ended up completely soaked trying to spray his brother back!



Nothing says 'Family Fun' like soaking your loved ones!

Mo took this photo on our way back from a train ride that goes all the way around the park, it had started to rain a little bit and a rainbow appeared, it was almost 9 at night so getting pretty dark but I managed to edit it somewhat and I think it turned out really cool!
