Seoul Land...

There are several amusement parks in the Seoul area.  We went to Lotte World a couple of weeks ago and since Josh & the kids had a day off today, we decided to check out Seoul Land.  Seoul Land is one of Korea's first amusement parks and it is surrounded by Mt. Cheonggyesan.  Josh and I both commented on how to made us feel like we were back in East Tennessee!


Always have to get a front porch picture on our way out :).  This is our front porch.  I'm hoping our household goods will be in this week so that I can get my fall wreath up & decorate the porch more !!  I just LOVE fall time!


Here we are on our way to the subway....it was such a beautiful day!!!  The weather was perfect!




It was such any easy subway ride from post.  It only took us about eighteen minutes to get there.  We were so surprised by how beautiful the area was.  It truly made us feel like we were in East Tennessee!!!  The leaves were so vibrant and colorful!


Seoul Land has different festival's throughout the year depending on the season.  Right now it is decorated for Autumn & Halloween.  The kids loved all the decorations they had up and the flowers were amazing!!






Once we got inside, the kids were ready to ride some rides!!  One of the first ones we rode was this cute little roller coaster. This thing was very deceptive. It went really fast, especially compared to kiddy roller coasters that we have ridden in the States.  Caleb and Michael LOVED it!



Another fun ride that everyone loved was the log flume :)


After riding several rides it was time for a snack break.  We ended up seeing several of our friends that live on post :)  It was nice to see some familiar faces!



This was an area for the younger kids.  Rachel was right at the height limit to get in...Ethan was upset because he was too big!  The white part was like a trampoline.  You could climb it, bounce on it, and slide down it.  



This was another ride that Ethan & Rachel begged to get on.  It was kind of like tea cups, except if you get it spinning fast enough you could turn it upside down.   If you look in the second picture, they both were getting a little nervous, but once it started and they figured out that they had control of how fast it would go, they were fine!




Josh and I were so proud of Ethan.  For as long as he has been old enough to ride any type of ride, he could not handle things that took his stomach.  He would cry if he even thought we wanted him to try one out. With that being said, he got the nerve up to ride one of the biggest ones they had there.  I thought for sure he wouldn't go through with it.  So Josh took him and guess what....he did GREAT!!  He LOVED it and now is hooked!  He ended up riding several of the bigger rides :)


After the ride it was snack time again :)


By this time we were all tired of walking, so we decided to go into one of the 3D shows they had. 



Here are a couple more pictures from our day out......








We truly had a blast today and didn't even get through all of Seoul Land.  We can't wait to go back!!

Until Next Time,
Michelle :)
