Splish & Splash Water Park

Splish & Splash Water Park 08/21/2009

I don't know about you, but I LOVE water parks. However the thought of taking ALL my kids to a water park by myself frightens me. The big one, Boy 1 is fine, no worries there, but the others, OH MY GOODNESS. They are all different levels of swimmers and they all want to do different things, plus Boy 3 thinks he is invincible. I am so afraid of losing one of them, or one going under and no one noticing. Therefore, I have not once taken my kids to a water park here in Korea, which is a shame because there are some great water parks here. So when my friend M came over last week and invited us to Splish & Splash Water park at Camp Humphery's I took her up on the invite. Camp Humphery's is another military post here in Korea.

On Tuesday, we met our LARGE group at gate 19 & walked over to the train station where we bought tickets for Pyongtaek. The cost was only 4,200 won per adult & 2,100 won per child. The train ride takes just over an hour and my kids LOVED the train. This was Boy 3's first train ride & let me tell you, he was super EXCITED!! Here we are on the train...you can rearrange your chairs so you can face each other. Coolness.

Once we arrived in Pyongtaek, we took a cab to Camp Humphreys. If you are going, ask the cab driver to take you to K6. (This is the gate you will need to enter through.) Once you arrive, walk through the gate, and it is a pretty straight shot...between buildings, only about a 1-2 minute walk. Here is a picture of our group before entering the park.

Upon entering the park, all my fears were diminished. This is the PERFECT park for small kids!

See the pool in the background of the picture above? The deepest part was only 3 feet deep. I LOVE this place!

This park wasn't only for little kids; there were a few things for the bigger kids to do. There were a couple of big water slides, and the high dive......

Girl wants everyone to know she went off the high dive ELEVEN times!!

Boy 2 finally worked up the nerve and went off the high dive 4 time! (I didn't get a picture of him on the high dive though).

Boy 3 couldn't get enough of the water slides.....

The kids and I had such a great day, we can't wait to go back next week. Thanks to Boy 1 for being such a great help to me! (Notice how much taller he is than I am!)
