Catching up

We had a fabulous Mother's day weekend. On Saturday we went to Silverwood Theme Park. It's about 45 minutes from our house, and Mom's got in FREE that weekend! You can't beat that, and it was a beautiful day, just about 70 degrees! (Perfect for me). Kent, Ellie and Brayden on the roller coaster train (Dani is sitting next to me). Everyone LOVED this ride. Brayden called it the "fake train."

This was a cute pic., but RIGHT after this they had to get into different helicopters. They started BEATING each other. It was quite embarrassing , I was already outside the gate and I had to go back in and separate them.

Waiting and waiting for the bumper boats.

The bumper boats were great, but we got drenched! I had both of the girls in my boat and Kent had Brayden. Three tweens cornered the girls and me and wouldn't let us out of the corner. We were stuck forever and they just kept blasting water at us (two baby girls)! I laughed for a while then I started getting ticked, but they wouldn't budge! Finally I had to yell, that's ENOUGH, we're FINISHED. What an old grumpy lady! (This was before the sun was out and it wasn't all that warm yet). The girls didn't even make a peep, they just sat there and enjoyed all of it!

Family bike ride! Brayden rode his tandem bike behind Kent, and I pulled the girls in the trailer behind my bike. We rode to Liberty Lake, (maybe 4 miles) and by the time we got there my tire was completely flat! It wasn't a far bike ride, but it was a LONG one. I tell ya, hauling a trailer with a flat tire is hard work! After we turned around to go home, the tandem bike got all jacked.

The axle popped and Brayden had to ride like this for THREE miles. He just held on for dear life and Kent hauled him the rest of the way home. I couldn't believe Brayden didn't freak out! He was practically riding sideways, I was giggling at the sight, but scared that he was going to fly off.
