C and I spent the day at Silverwood Theme park and Boulder Beach water park! Located in beautiful North Idaho, Silverwood Theme Park has over 65 rides, slides, shows and attractions, including four roller coasters, Boulder Beach Water Park, a steam engine train, live entertainment, restaurants, and more.
C's favorite ride... the carousel. He loves riding the horses. We rode the carousel 4 or 5 times... I lost count!
C got to meet Odie and Garfield too!
The always fun Red Baron ride. He went on this ride a few times too.
Tiny Toot Rollercoaster. A mini train rollercoaster ride, which C picked the very front seat.
I love this picture. C was so excited and happy all day. He would randomly give me big hugs and kisses and say "I love you, Thank you mommy." I'm so glad we got the chance to spend the day having fun. There is nothing in the world I like to do more than watch my little guy smile from ear to ear!
Frog Hopper. This ride climbs straight up to the top and then drops and bounces (hops) up and down. C really wanted to try this ride so I went with him the first time. It's a low intense ride. C loved it and wanted to go again. After some debating the attendant convinced me that it was safe for him to ride alone. C was thrilled to go a second time.
Corkscrew rollercoaster. We didn't go on any rollercoasters of course, well other than the tiny toot rollercoaster, but we did watch other people go screaming by. Silverwood has 4 rollercoasters: Corkscrew, Tremors, Aftershock and Timber Terror. I know at least one of the rollercoasters goes under ground too.
They have several carnival games to win prizes. A few are designed for the younger kids, so they get to keep playing until they win a prize. C chose to throw darts at a wall of balloons. He got to pick any prize he wanted from the left and he chose a purple spiky ball. His favorite color is still brown, but closely followed by purple.
After we grabbed a pulled pork sandwich and hot dog for lunch it was off to Boulder Beach water park. But first we had to get a soft serve ice cream cone for desert and scope out the Polliwog Kids park.

And then it was off to play in the water. I didn't get very many pictures since I was playing in the water with C. I couldn't convince him to go down any of the slides. It was 70 degree's with a slight breeze, which felt perfect walking around, but as soon as you got wet that breeze felt pretty chilly. C got wet up to his chest, but in order to get up to the slides you have to walk under a waterfall of water spray and he wouldn't do it. But we had fun playing with everything else. We spent some time in one of the wave pools too. He really liked jumping the waves. The Elkhorn Creek Lazy River looked like fun too. We'll have to try that next time. They have tons of huge adult slides too... maybe someday C will enjoy racing down those.
After Boulder Beach we raced to the Train Depot. C really wanted to go on the 30 minute train ride through the woods, with a train robbery. But we got there just as the train was pulling away. This was the 2nd time we missed the train that day. The first time we got all the way up to the gate and they ran out of seats. We tried to wait for the next train, but after 6+ hours of nonstop fun in the sun... we were both beat. We barely pulled out of the parking lot before I heard some serious snoring coming from the back seat. When we got home all C could talk about was "we couldn't ride the train because there was too many people." J's never been to Silverwood, so I'm sure we'll be back... and next time we'll make sure to catch the train!
