Silverwood

Usually or at least for the last 8 years or so, Doug's work has paid for all of it's employees and their families to go to a local water park called Splashdown.  This year however, they changed it up and paid for everyone and their families to go to Silverwood.  Can't complain with that.  Silverwood is like a mini Disneyland with rides and a water park.  As a family we have gone to Silverwood for the last two years because the children get to earn tickets through the school by reading.  In those years we have never gone to the water park so this time we did.  We may just have to do it again.  It was lots of fun.

We also got to "float" the water and go in the wave pool, but it's kinda hard to take pictures in the water.

While Daddy and the older boys were playing bumper cars, Peter and Lex tried on hats.

Then we split up into two groups for ride time.  I got the camera and the younger three.  We had a blast!

On the train ride.  Peter loved this ride and wanted to do it multiple times.

Future pilot time.  Lex and Peter in a helicopter.

Peter amazed me that he was willing to go on so many rides without me.  Here he is with Evan in a ferris wheel type ride.

The next three pictures are in sequence.  Look at Peter.  At first all is well.  He had already been on the ride with me.

Now as they start to go up his face changes and things are not okay any more.

Still not okay as the others are having fun and Ben is trying to comfort Peter. 

Swinging time with daddy and Chris.  Peter is way happy and then it starts to move.

Not so good now.  I love his face.  Maybe this makes me a horrible mother, but his facial expressions are comical on these two ride.  I am glad he is still my little boy.
