Cherie's ASB got a group rate for a college outing to "Silverwood Theme Park" for every college student and their families 1/2 price. Our family never gone to a theme park before, decided to make this a family outing as Cherie choose to go with the college. Cherie rode with the college students in the carpool vans as Jared, mom, and I rode in our own vehicle. We actually saw some different Idaho country we had never seen before on the way.
Once we arrived at Silverwood, we walked through the gates and found a park map. Cherie and some of her college buddies tried to choose which ride to go on first which was hard for them to decide. As we followed the group down the pathway, my family was more engrossed with the flower beds, mother robin sitting on her nest, and the butterflies, unlike the rest of the group eyes focused on the towering wild rides ahead. Our family was not too excited in trying out the rides, but we tried the small ones. Jared, Mom, and Cherie tried at least the "Tremors" rollacoaster. I had simply no desire to go on anything wild and ridicules.
We each tried the many different small, and wet water rides....we decided the bumper cars, train ride and water rides were the best in the park. Thanks to a sweet brother, Cherie and I remained wet most of the day as he shot water at us from side guns on the water attractions. We spent a lovely time in a spaghetti restaurant all trimmed in Victorian style furnishings that thrilled us gals. We loved the old fashion pictures and tiny mirrors on the walls. Jared along with the rest of us, report the food was wonderful....but then who can say anything bad about spaghetti.
After the day, our family still decided that more simple things in life are a joy. The birds, flowering shrubs, trees, and flowers are more of a pleasure than any theme park could provide. Amidst the whole day....what matter most was having fun time together with family!
