Aunt Nancy's Visit

Aunt Nancy stopped in Korea on her way back home.  She had been visiting in Asia since July.  She has so much energy!  She amazed us with all the site seeing she did.  She was so cute with the kids.  She spoiled them her last night here with ice cream treats.  

We took the 3 youngest in the cable car up to Seoul tower while the older girls were at piano.  We enjoyed dinner at a little burger place at Seoul tower.  Now Ben thinks we need to do this every time we want to come to Seoul tower:)

Animation Museum

I saw this animation museum when we were driving...so I thought we should check it out.  

The museum was free unless you wanted to do the clay animation. ($2). I love Korean museums:). 

An artist did a cartoon portrait of the kids.

   The kids loved it!

Bike Riding

When the kids have free time, they love to ride their bikes around our apartment complex.  I love listening to their pretend life.  Their bikes are either cars or horses.

Ben is so good to Kens...he treats her like a little princess most of the time.

*side story...Ben was playing a cookie game on the phone.  He said "let's make a heart cookie because I love you."  Kensley replied, "Aww Ben,  I love me too!"

EverLand

Since we had Monday off, we decided to go to EverLand.  They had the resort decorated for Halloween.

This is like the "it's a small world" ride at Disney land. 

Kensley really wanted to ride in the "Princess truck" on the carousel.  She even had a little Korean fan club waving to her.  I wish I would've taken a picture of the Korean girls waving to Kens.

The Parade...

These two were having a blast!!

Kensley was too short for most of the rides, so riding a camel was her consolation ride.

The Safari ride was my favorite.

This was fun ride we were able to enjoy together.  

We didn't stay for the fireworks because it was a school night.  We all agreed Everland was fun but we enjoyed Seoul Land more.

Hanguel day

South Korea's King Sejong "the Great" created Hanguel (the Korean Alphabet).  Korea has a national holiday celebrating the creation of Hanguel.  

Karley is in a after school Korean Culture class.  Her teacher invited the class to attend a fashion show commemorating Hanguel Day.  Karley was super excited and I was excited to hang out with her.

I was grateful the show hosts spoke English too so I could understand.  

It was a two part show...the first part was musical entertainment.  

Our favorite one was a old man dancing.  The title was "Grandpa's a Super Star"

He was very entertaining!  He had the crowd laughing.

Then the fashion show started with cute little children in their traditional Korean clothes.

The rest of the fashion show was telling the life story of King Sejong.

King Sejong was the third son of King Taejong.

Karley and Lana had fun talking about all the traditional clothing.
