Spring Break-Day 2 Everland Amusement Park

I am so far behind in my blogging.  The end of school and the beginning of PCS season has brought many commitments and I haven't had time to sit behind my computer as much.  I will try to get us caught up over the next few weeks. 

They have a few different amusement parks here in Seoul.  Due to the lack of land space they are not as big as they are in America, but other than the size they are pretty much the same as American amusement parks.  Lots of rides, junk food and shows. We decided one of the days while the girls were on Spring Break that it would be the perfect day to check out the biggest one in this area called Everland. 

Lucy wasn't quite tall enough to ride a few of the bigger rides but Taylor was.  So she and Russ braved the spinning, upside down rides while Lucy and I stayed safely on the solid ground.
All buckled in and ready to go.  At this point I was yelling at Russ to hold onto her.  She looked so small in that huge seat.
Off they go...
Getting higher...
You could not have paid me to ride this ride.
And here we are safely on the ground.
 Most of the rides were very similar to what we have in the states, so I didn't take a lot of ride pictures.  But they did have a fun Madagascar 3 show that we went to.  The only problem...it was all in Korean.  We didn't realize it until it was to late to leave.  We still had fun watching the characters and they did have some of it translated, but it really lost something in the translation.

It was during their Tulip Festival so there were beautiful tulips everywhere. 


No trip to an amusement park is complete without cotton candy.
One unique part of the park was an entire animal land.  The girls were able to feed birds out of their hands.
 
They had a drive through safari and the animals were really active.  They even fed the bears out of the drivers window. 
That night we watched a Moonlight Parade.  It was probably one of my favorite parts of the park.  The floats were beautiful and HUGE!!
One last roller coaster ride before we went home.
It was a good day at the Everland amusement park.
