Agua Splash

Today we had the honor to be invited to Agua Splash (a water park) by the colonel in charge of the Honduran Presidential Honor Guard. The military paid to take all of the families of these soldiers, and us, to the water park just outside of Teguc. Normally if we go to a water park it would be when no one is there and that was not the case today, but to refuse the invitation would be a huge insult. So we went and the kids had a blast.

The day started off with a bang when we found out that the time we had been given to be there by (7:00 am) was not correct and we didn't need to be there until 9:00 am. The bad thing was that we didn't get this call until 6:45 when we were dressed and ready to go, yet very sleepy. We got there a little before 9:00 am and had to wait until 10:00 am because the bus to pick everyone up was late. We were taking our own car, but we couldn't get to the park before them.


We have had a lot of heat and humidity these past few weeks. We were hoping that would last through today, but as our luck would have it, today was the day it started to rain. It rained and rained and then rained some more. The kids were already wet so we didn't make them come out of the water. It did make it cold though and they were shaking from the cold at times. Audrey (who must be part fish) came out of the water only for lunch and when we made her change to leave.


We are all tired out, but had a nice field trip day and are looking forward to a good nights sleep.

  1. Oh fun. It's great to get away for a day of fun! We love day trips like that. It's always a little easier to pour yourself into homeschooling when there's an occasional break in there.

  3. So sorry I didn't mention specifics about Agua Splash. It is a waterpark located about 15 minutes north of the capital city of Tegucigalpa. It is located in between Tamara and Tegucigalpa. I am not sure of the cost to enter as the Guardia de Honor paid for our entrance fees.
