Some Wacky Pictures

There are a few pictures that we took this past weekend that are quite wacky. I think you would only see these here in Korea. The first picture was taken as Osan Air Base. It's self explanatory.

The second picture was taken by this bridge that we cross to go to Osan. Can you even imagine?? =)This is a picture I took in June of the rice patties...nice and green.These are a couple of pictures of what the rice patties look like now. They kind of look like wheat.Chusok is this week, Monday through Wednesday. This is a huge holiday for the Koreans, it's like our Thanksgiving. They go to their relatives house and the younger women cook for the rest of the household. They eat lots of rice cakes....no not the kind that we eat in the states. As a matter of fact, Brodie actually made some in his school. However, when Bill opened up the plastic baggie....well, all I can really say is...they stink. Not appealing to the smell factor at all. Needless to say, neither Bill nor I could bring ourselves to try even one and they ended up in the trash. On Friday when Brodie got off the school bus they handed me a couple of bottles to this drink. Brodie really wanted me to open it up for him so he could try it. It smelled like vitamins. It did say energy drink....like Brodie NEEDS any more energy! Anyway, he did like this drink and drank both bottles. I tried a sip and well, to me, it tasted like vitamins. Who knows!

Tiki, love the pictures of the signs....especially the one of the car falling off the bridge! Loved the kids soccer pics also. Jenna sure seems to have grown up some since we saw her in April. Colleen
