The Owens pick up
My sister and her husband showed up when we got home from silverwood for the quick visit and pickup of Gracie. had a good visit and even caught Christy on film getting whooped by maddie at tetherball! Silly girls!
Train Robbery
on our train ride around silverwood they stop at little show on the road...the set is a silver mine and two actors hold the train up on a robbery( all money given to them is given to charity) . The kids had a good laugh. 
at the end of the robbery they play out "fighting over the money" and one throws the money in a well and the other jumps in....then one throws dynamite in the well and we all count to 3 to set it off and then low and behold we get showered with a blast of water...and luck williams family......our car was front and center to the whole thing!
I love this picture of Sophia and Dan.

Silverood 2010
This was the 2nd year we went to Silverwood. Becoming an annual trip with our friends Jim and Linda and their two boys, Jeff and Ty. This year we invited cosuin Grace to come along....another good year!
Dan was urging Grace and the other kids to do the aftershock. Sophia was the only one of our kids last year that did. This year Spencer and Sophia were on board with Grace. So Jim, Linda, Dan and the 3 kids took off.... Maddie and I went to wait at the end of the ride for them and then about 15 later Jim, Linda, and a crying Sophia and Spencer came walking back to us....apparently the height requirement was changed this year by the manufacturer of the ride. Sophia was having a really hard time since she had a successful run last year! but once the ride took off and they could see Grace and HEAR Dan whoohooing....they turned to all laughs and smiles!
After Grace got off the ride she yelled " who's ready for round two!"
Maddie loving Tremors Roller coaster!!
Spencer and Dan paired for Tremors...apparently spencer just kept yelling " what the heck??" the entire ride. Behind them were Jim and Jeff and then Maddie and Grace and then holding the caboose were Linda and Sophia.
This is a shot of the Aftershock from our train ride around the perimeter.
This was right before they attmepted to get on aftershock with Grace.
First ride of the day....Ferris wheel....I am not sure they will do this one again...only because they thought it to be slow and lame.

"Do something stupid ...stupid!" Cue
Getting ready to leave....trying to get some pictures....they did hold it together for one good one...the rest????? all silly.....which is good...it tells a good story of lots of latughter and fun! We are so grateful for having family in places that we need to travel to for soccer!
Corvette cruise in
When we arrived in Iassaquah my aunt and uncle had mentioned to us that they occasionally go to the weekly cruise in down at the diner down the road... then they checked to see what cars where going to be there and when they said "corvette" I about died! Spencer's eyes bugged out! For some reason over the last several weeks Spencer has been obsessed with trying to figure out what a corvette is....asking any every quesion of me while driving through town....so this was a much needed answer! He had the ability to see the corvette from 1954-2010....i am pretty sure he will be able to indentify one without a hitch now! 
This was Dan's fav.
Grace and Maddie stuck together and ended up liking burnt orange one.
Sophia was all about the yellow
Spencer really liked the 2010 that has the see through hood to see the engine.
