Silver Dollar City

We had such a fun and busy weekend! Friday night our entire family went out to a family dinner to celebrate several birthdays. They ranged from January until April. Last fall we did the October, November and December birthdays so it was time to catch up. I guess my niece whose birthday in June will get her own dinner! We went out to Colton's and had a good time. I even took two states with me! Yep, Jarika's boyfriend Utah and her friend Montana joined us! They then went to a movie with my nephew and then went bowling. Utah was holding Addy and then all of the sudden there was a huge crash! Yep, Addy got a bread plate and threw it to the floor! Utah was so surprised that she was so fast! It was funny but we did feel bad that she broke a plate!

Saturday morning we got up way early, not even close to bright (4:30am) to get everyone ready for Silver Dollar City. Cooper had to meet the bus at 6 am to go to his Junior Jays competition! I couldn't believe we all got up and at em but we did! My mom spent the night with us so we could leave Addysen home. We easily could have brought her with us but this was Cooper's thing so she stayed home. Cooper's choir earned perfect scores from all of the judges! How cool is that???

We then headed to SDC after the competition and spent the entire day there. The boys had so much fun! They rode rides and went to Grandfather's Mansion, which Cooper hated the first time through! He went in it again and liked it better. I think it helped that there weren't 20 screaming Junior High girls going through with him like his first visit! If you haven't been in Grandfather's Mansion, it's a trip! You are in a room that is completely slanted and it's nearly impossible to stand up! Pretty difficult for those who have motor issues! The boys loved the American Plunge! I only rode the Lost River.It's my kind of ride but I did get soaked! The boys then played in Splash Harbor/Geyser Gulch and completely drenched each other, it was so fun! Jarika hung out with her friend Emilygrace and got pooped out too! We ended our day with dipping our own candles which the boys thought was pretty cool too. Jarika hadn't done it in ages so she was happy too. Sunday was also very busy, I'll post about it later!
