Siam Park City

We were feeling adventurous this past weekend and decided to take the kids to a water park for the day. It was a spontaneous decision (scary!) but our quick packing was thorough enough and it turned out to be a great day.

We brought lots of cash since these places always seem to cost a fortune with admission, over- priced food, and equipment rental but it turned out to be a pretty cheap day too. It cost us 800 Baht ($24) to get in, we brought the kids' swim rings for floating around the lazy river, and food was Thai, tasty, and cheap. Can't beat it!

Advice wanted on how to get your daughter to smile naturally for photographs without a tickle attack.

Life is just far too good for this kid.

Okay, that's better.

Ready, steady, GO!

And finally a water safety tip- go to water parks where you are the only fair-skinned people there. It makes your husband and children very easy to locate in a busy swimming pool.
