Silverwood Theme Park

Long Time my friends! Sorry...but I found some cute pictures of our trip to Silverwood this year. My work took all the employees and their families to the biggest theme park in the Pacific Northwest aka Silverwood. Not quite as big as Lagoon to give those a reference point from my neck of the woods, but still a fabulous place to have fun!


Kaden, cousin Jacob and Catherine riding the giant swing. We took my sister Michelle and DJ and their kids with us to Silverwood. So glad we did so we could take turns watching the kids while the other couple was off riding the big stuff!!



Kaden cheesing it for us on the helicopter ride. The best part of the theme park was being able to say YES to whatever the kids wanted. "Mom can I ride the helicopter?" "Yes Kaden you can!" It was so much fun!!



Kaden and cousin Jacob on the frog hopper




Kaden and cousin Catherine on the plane. By far the favorite among the kids!




Even little Paycen could ride most of the rides! He felt so grown up!!




All the kids!! Paycen in front, then Jacob, Kaden, Catherine and Ashlynn from left to right.




Paycen being a good listener "Put your hands up Paycen! Reach for the stars!"




Silverwood also has a really fun water park called Boulder Beach. I wish we would've spent most of our time there. The kids loved it. Ty's friend Josh met us at Silverwood and helped show us all the cool places. The kid splash pad was by far the best!




Kaden coming down the slide. I think he did this slide 20 times. I went up with him once thinking I wouldn't get that wet but I swear all the kids targeted me. Their were water guns and dumping buckets while you were climbing up the ladders and I got hosed. I got drenched by this huge bucket and I started screaming. This little girl looked at me like "why is this lady screaming, it's just water". so funny!



I don't know how Paycen does it but he finds the dirt. We were eating lunch and he walks over to this tree and back to us. He must have tripped and landed in the only pile of fresh dirt that ringed around the tree. He got a wet wipe bath, but then we headed to the water park and all was better!


I think we will go again next summer and spend most of the day at the water park. Kaden still talks about sliding down the slides all by himself months later. We had a blast! I was so surprised by the hospital funding this event for our yearly work party! Man I'm starting to love this place!!

That's awesome! We lived in Spokane for two years and never went to Silverwood. Lame, I know. We always said, "We should go to Silverwood this summer..." But it never happened. Glad you guys had such a great time and are liking it there!
