We had so much fun on our trip to Coeur d 'alene last year that we decided to go again this year. It was even better than the last! We swam on the beach, went to Silverwood Theme Park for two days, and went for a beautiful hike on the lake. This year we rented a five bedroom house and Mike's family was all there. It was such a fun trip.

Silverwood is so much fun. The theme park is a little bigger than Lagoon but the water park inside is much bigger. This year the kids were able to ride a few more rides and they loved it. Braden and Hailie thought the log ride was the best. Karlie was not so fond of getting wet on rides. Anyway, we are definately going to go back again!

Some of these pictures are from a birthday party we celebrated for Mike. When he was six years old, their family moved from New York to Arizona. Mike has always used this against his family and claims that he never got a sixth birthday party (his mom claims otherwise.) Anyway, so while we were up there, Mike's family put on an entire sixth birthday party for Mike with games, presents, and decorations. It was pretty funny. The best part about it was that it entertained the kids so much! They thought it was totally normal for us to have pin the S on Superman for Mike's birthday.
