Silverwood!



Friday, August 1 - Journey Continues
We continued driving on Friday. Got a late start from Butte (left at 11 AM) and I was driving. James had to work the entire way. I had a few calls during the drive. We were trying to arrive by 3PM so that I could have a conference call. Wow! Work can really get in the way of a vacation sometimes! The drive was good and Kenna was good. We had planned to take our Honda, but our hectic week changed our minds and we decided to take "Diego" for the convenience of a big car, with DVD players, tinted windows and lots of room. We arrived in CdA at about 3:15 (had to stop just a few miles outside of town to change drivers so I could get on my call). Kenna was so happy to be here. All of us were! We went over to Erin's in the evening for a BBQ and playtime with the cousins!

Saturday, August 2 - Silverwood!
I got to start my day with a beautiful run on the mountain. I encounter lots of deer - it's amazing. We made it to Silverwood in the late afternoon. We went swimming in the water park. Kenna absolutely loved it. We took several laps in the lazy river ("Mom, is this the lazy wiver?"). We rode rides and Kenna loved riding with her cousins. She still struggles with the shyness and doesn't like too much attention or people to laugh when she is talking.



Of course, my little spoiled Disney-child asked, "well Mom, when are they going to have a parade? and the fireworks?!" Obviously, we have not taken her to a regular theme park often enough.
