Let me start with, I don't have time to be sick. Although I was not up to par I was not going to disappoint my family, friends or myself by letting my bad week and still not feeling well over take our plans. I sucked it up and am continuing to suck it up because I just don't have the time or the patience to be sick...
The weekend kicked off with a birthday party at Lake Bowl for Ivie, (Melissa's daughter and Alissa and Jillian's cousin). Melissa, you are CRAZY! I swear there were 30 something kids there! We took up 4 lanes and 3 of them had ten players each, the fourth lane had 5 or 6 I believe.
For those of you unaware of Melissa's parties, they are no small thing. Not ever! They are an EVENT lasting a couple of hours and full of entertainment. They are always fun and wonderful but WAY more than I would ever dream to tackle! Kudos Melissa.
As usual, everyone had a blast! The girls weren't ready to go when it was time but we all had the weekend to get ready for.
Saturday, we headed east; destination -
in Kellogg, ID. We shopped our way there, stopping in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Post Falls along the way.
Charli had found out about this deal Silver Mountain was offering throughout the end of
September, stay one night in a 1 bedroom and get two days passes for four to the waterpark for $169. The passes themselves cost $27 each and the rooms are like timeshare rooms. They offer studios, 1 & 2 bedroom units, and lofts - those sleep 10! It was a deal!
2 bedroom floor plan. Left side of floor plan locks off to be 1 bedroom studio and right side becomes 1 bedroom unit

A total of four families went; Chapman's (Justin, Charli, Riley, Cayli, and Camyrn), Carvo's (Brett, Me, Alissa, and Jillian), Carvo's (Josh, Melissa, Ashley, ivie, and Kolby), and Dishon's (Dan, Tina, Kegan, Miaya, and a little guy I don't remember his name- sorry).
OMGosh! If you haven't gone - you need to! Completely indoors, lifeguards everywhere! Something for everyone one - literally. Kiddie zone for the toddlers, kid area with slides for the other kids, a lazy river, 2 tube slides, 1 "family" tube slide - seats 4, a tidal wave to surf, a pool of water basketball, 3 hot tubs - one for kids, 2 for adults upstairs by the bar. A full service bar, a place to order good food that's not badly priced at all, lifejackets and towels provided....it was AWESOME!! Our kids could go do there thing - with rules of course and we could do ours.
Here are some pics from the internet:

The weekend was in celebration of Riley's birthday. We had a BLAST and hope that he did too! Thanks for inviting us!
Silver Mountain Resort is offering a similar package starting today. We are contemplating a second trip...we'll see.
