Ryan's School Outing

Mommy took Ryan to his school outing at Lok-Fu Amusement Park. Though Daddy and Mommy took the boys there during Chinese New Year, but it was super crowded that we waited for a long long time and only enjoyed four rides. This time, it was a weekday and we got there early, so we got to enjoy much more rides! All the kids were super excited and had fun exchanging snacks and candies on the bus.


It was sunny and hot. We first rode the bus around the wild animal zone and got really close look of lions, tigers and bears. We then rode the bicyle with track in mid-air overlooking the monkey park. It was a bit scary for Mommy but not for Ryan. Mommy kept her eye on the single track the whole time without looking down and kept telling Ryan not to move an inch in his seat. Taking the train to look at the grass-land animal was interesting for Ryan though we did that 4 months ago during Chinese New Year.

If you look carefully, you could see a monkey in the background in this picture below.



Mommy took Ryan to the Jurassic Park where there were some big dinosaurs, a good place to take photos.




We skipped the whole section with rides not suitable for kids, like roller coaster, free-fall and other scary rides, and also the whole section where we went last time. Instead, Mommy took Ryan to the Wild West and lined up (the only ride that day with longer queue) for the Rapid River. We took off our socks and shoes and put them in a plastic bag. Mommy prepared a rain coat for Ryan but forgot one for herself. Mommy also had spare cloth for Ryan but none for herself...... Our boat was light with only two of us aboard and therefore twirled around in the river very fast. Murphy's law would apply here as Mommy was drenched from head-to-toe while Ryan stayed quite dry. Luckily, with the big hot sun, Mommy's pants dried up a bit an hour later. No photo was taken for this ride.......


Mommy took Ryan to three other smaller rides for kids later, Ryan insisted to ride two of them two times.



Most of the kids, including their parents, fell asleep on the bus on the way back to Taipei. It was tiring for Mommy, but fun for Ryan.
