Splash City

One advantage to jet lag and 4 am wake-up times, is that our day starts very early and we can accomplish a lot more than we would with our normal 8 am rising time. Today, we decided to head off to the water park to beat the sun and if we aimed at getting there as soon as the park opened, we'd also beat the crowds. Normally, this would be a challenge for us but with 3 or so hours of wake-up time before setting off in the car, we managed to cook chicken, make a picnic lunch, pack our swim bags, have breakfast and get everybody out the door before 7:30. That's quite an impressive feat for us!

The water park itself was a blast. We went with good family friends with a daughter Erin's age and we all had a blast! Having only been there with my sixth grade students, I hadn't realised how many slides, fountains and splash pools were available for the young ones. The girls loved wading, splashing, and sliding! It was awesome. So much so that both families bought passes to come often. What another great Taipei find!
