We wanted to go to Silverwood last summer and never did, so I decided we weren't going to put it off again. So our last vacation of the summer was a road trip to Idaho. Jack liked the idea of going to another state and Ellie was really wanting to hit the rollercoasters. It took us 7 hours to get there and we we enjoyed the drive. We stayed in a little dive in Post Falls, Idaho but the kids loved it. We spent the first day at the water park for most of the day just going to the amusement park for a few rides. Then after a little worry about the weather(there were some thunderstorms) we spent the second day at the amusement park. Ellie loves the big rides. She did many by herself. Doug did the old wooden rollercoaster with her once but found it too bouncy and I did it 4 times. And boy was I sore the next day. But we made some memories and we have all laughed at one of the pictures on the rollercoaster. The kids loved Silverwood. On the way home we stopped at Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery and Multnomah Falls. It was a great trip and we are thinking of ideas for our family trip for next summer.
