Water Park & Bus Ride Adventures

This might be more information than most of you want but for my mommy memories I want to write it down. Plus it was funny and pretty unbelievable for me.

Yesterday we went to a water park here in Korea with my new friend Hope and her two daughters Amber and Taylor. We took the 8:00 bus from Yongsan to get to Humphreys. It is a 2 hour bus ride and the kids did great. The water park was a blast. Logan loved everything and could have lived there all summer I wish we lived a little closer. Next year it will be something we do a lot. He dived off the diving board 6 times and after watching a little boy do a flip he tried it. Logan is so awesome he dove in 3 times did so good but the last flip attempt he landed flat on his back.....he was hurting from that. He went down the water slides so so many times. He really loves the water and loved spending all day there. Addysen was super cute splashing in the water and going down the slides with me. This is one of those trips I usually don't take alone and we wish Spencer could have come he is a fish too and would have loved it. It was sad to leave the water park but by 3:30 Logan was wasted he never would have admitted it but he was tired.

Now for the crazy times.....we all go potty before getting on the bus. 10 minutes into our 2 1/2 hour bus ride home Addy went potty a ton so I changed her. Then another 10 minutes go by and Addy "makes a snake" (This is Logan's term for going #2). So it is smelling up the whole bus I change her. Not long after I get Addysen situated Logan says "mommy I need to make a snake." I am dying, what do I do?? Buses don't wait for anyone or stop for anything. So I put a diaper on my 4 year old. He says mommy I am not a baby I can't do it. I am like, "Logan are you sure?? If you go in your pants we have no other clothes". We get him dressed again. Then 20 minutes pass and he says mommy I need to go potty I am thinking he has to go #2 or else I would have done the whole pee in a bottle but nope....I put a diaper back on. He is sitting on my lap half way and then I feel the warmth!! Now I am dying by this point because I know exactly what happened. The diaper couldn't hold it so now my leg is drenched and the bus seat...I clean him up luckily his clothes are still dry. Wipe him and he is dying, laughing, "Mommy I am not a baby." I was laughing too... I think to keep from crying. Hope had some paper towels and I used some wipes we got it all cleaned up. My wallet is wet and so am I and all I kept thinking was thank goodness he has had a lot of Gatorade to drink today cause it was diluted. :-) Then yes, it gets worse... or better depending on whether you are thinking of the situation or of the unforgettable story. More time passes and Logan says "mommy I have to make a snake I can't hold it anymore." Poor kid! So Hope says she has a bag. I then proceeded to put Logan's legs through the handles on each side and told him to hold up the front... I held up the back. The bus ride was crazy, and we were bouncing all over so just try to imagine me, my two kids one of whom is in the back of a bus trying to poop in a sack. I am holding him and he goes #2 then says mommy I need to go pee too.....so he does it the whole time I'm hoping this sack doesn't have any holes or else I will be wearing it AGAIN. Luckily there were no breaches and we did okay. I am so embarrassed to even be admitting this but that is what happened.

We finally arrived at Yongsan, which is about 10 minutes away from our home and Hope says, "WOW that was an eventful ride home... it sure helped time go fast." We both laughed about how nothing else could have gone wrong.....seconds later Hope's daughter Taylor (that just moved to sit with her mom) says, "Mommy I think I am going to throw up." Oh... I freaked out, and frantically began looking for a bag. I found one and opened it but before I could hand it to her she had vomited up the isle of the bus. Then another bunch in the bag. The smell in a closed up bus was horrific, you get my drift...we opened the windows while Hope wipes poor Taylor up and cleans the floor trying not to loose it herself. (She definitely deserves an award.) We were dying laughing seriously could it have gotten any worse. We were happy to have our feet on the ground and get home to bed! It was a fun, crazy day! Glad I had Hope there to laugh with me. (I promise none of the is exaggerated I wish we would have had a video camera on the whole time.)

The life of a MOMMY!
