Caribbean Bay... World's largest water park adventure



Yesterday's adventure was a trip to Caribbean Bay water park - the largest in the world. Getting there involved a subway ride (with a transfer) and a connection to a bus to another town. A bit of a challenge since all the road signs, etc. are in Hangul. It makes it hard to figure out which way to walk down the street. We were very proud of ourselves to figure it all out, get on the right bus going the right direction and make it to our destination and home again with no mix ups - we're ready for the Amazing Race! Here's Amelia showing off the entrance way! It really was an amazing place - waterslides, pools, hot springs, a 'miracle spa', a winding river to float from pool to hot tub. We spent almost 5 hours in the water and Amelia was in heaven. Her favourite part was a huge waterslide that we rode a raft up a conveyer belt and then hurtled down a dark chute. It was super fun! Second highlight was the spray park with a giant skull that filled with water and then dumped on everyone below. Spectacular but a bit chilly....
There was hardly anyone there so we had no line ups or waits for anything. We could easily go back for a second day, but there is so much else to see that we likely won't make it on this trip.

It's been some time...

I still don't know if anyone really reads the musings here, but some encouraging words from a friend prompted me to get my fingers moving. It's been a bit of a wild ride these past weeks and I'm just starting to catch my breath. January was a blur - I thought I was really prepared for G to be away again, but my optimism proved to be wildly misleading and so the first month was a slog. It seemed I couldn't get ahead of life enough to look up and see what was coming next. Then in mid-February, just as we were adjusting to him being home again for a few weeks, we got news of a new addition to our family. The 'telling' suddenly seemed like an overwhelming prospect. Adoption is like that I suppose... every milestone is met with anticipation and excitement, but also the prospect of responding to dozens of well-meaning questions about the whole process. We were also really aware of wanting to share the news with Amelia in a way that supported her processing it before

Home and new normal

We're settling into new routines and getting to know each other. We've been nesting for a week, helping Finn get to know us and his new home. We ventured out for a quick playground visit today, which was fun but also seemed to overwhelm him a bit, though he loved the swing. We'll keep him mostly at home for another few days as he's had so much change in his little life and needs to feels secure and stable. He's settling in pretty well I think. He seems to feel comfortable with us and definitely wants me when he's upset and needs soothing. He's exploring the house more vigorously every day. My dad came by today and installed a gate on our stairs so he doesn't take any tumbles. Finn is a cheerful fellow and loves his sister - pulling hair and squealing. He looks so much like she did as a baby, though his personality is different. He is quite happy playing and exploring on his own, while Amelia really wanted to be with me all the time. He's also not as
