Silverwood Amusement Park

Our annual Silverwood trip was great again. The only thing that wasn't really working with us was the weather. It was perfect for the amusement park, but not for the water park. The first ride we did was the...can't remember what it is called, but it is scary. I don't know why I'm such a wimp when it comes to those things. I use to work at an amusement park in Sweden at the "Loop". I was crazy. Mom, if you reading...don't worry...I survived it... We would go facing the back of the chair, so backwards. Just holding on for dear life....yeah! We would play chicken with the train...that's not smart...I know. If you really want to know what that is I can tell you.

As the train would come to the station, we would jump over the tracks in front of the train. The train would be coming toward you very fast. The person who was closer would win. Crazy huh?
Anyway, I can't do that stuff anymore...must be motherhood. Going back to the scary rides...I screamed the whole time. I wish I had a picture of Isabella's face, actually a movie would be even better. She was so excited going up the hill, raising her hands and laughing...the second we went over the hill...that all stopped. She was holding on to my arm for dear life. Her face was pale white and I thought she was going to throw up or faint or both at the same time. I don't know what it is...but I is crazy. Why do we do that to ourselves? I just don't get it. Why are we always searching for more?
Here are some photos of Dylan and Isabella as they play and wait for rides.

Hej Camilla! Nice talking to you on facebook earlier. I remember one day at Liseberg when my sister Anna and I came to visit you while you were working and it was raining cats and dogs. We got several free ride tickets from you and it was a blast, despite the rain. Thanks for taking us there, like 19 years ago! Wow, I'm getting old! But those are fond memories. And we did one of those crazy spinning rides. I didn't vomit but could have because you told us a story of someone who did.
