Lotte World

The Friday after Thanksgiving, we DID NOT go shopping. They don't really have "Black" Friday here. In the PX and BX they do, but nothing like it is in the States. Instead of shopping we went to Lotte World in Seoul. We drove there and only made one minor error in getting there. This is GREAT on our part!!! Once we got inside the kids went crazy!! Lotte World is an indoor amusement park. It was really nice when we first arrived, not a lot of people. However, around 3 pm it started to get crowded. We knew we had a long drive back to the "Hump" and wanted to beat the HUGE traffic jam in Seoul. We had a grand time and hopefully when Mimi and Poppa Owl come to visit over Christmas, we can go again!

Bill and Creed on the carousel. Here you have to ride the horse with your child, you can't just stand there and hold on to them!

Jenna and Brodie on the jumping frog ride. The start of the Christmas parade.Christmas parade. If you ask me...the short baker looks a little scary!!!

Santa was in the parade too, but in the US Santa is the BIG finale. Here, he was just part of the parade.

Creed finally waving to all the people in the parade! He didn't get that at first!Gingerbread houses and men.The wind up ballerina. Jenna really liked her!

Some Korean girls that wanted their picture taken with our kids. This happens all the time here.

I've been lagging

On my blogging. Nami and Papa came all the way from Arkansas to visit us. Here they are!! Just getting their luggage and walking out the doors.

During this time, we had Thanksgiving. Bill and I ate at the dining facility for lunch.

Then for the dinner hour, we had our own Thanksgiving. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!

Nami and PapaThis is what carving a turkey does to you!!!

Our visit to Pyongtaek Lake

Last weekend we had a little family trip to Pyongtaek Lake. This is right by the Yellow Sea. It was a tad bit chilly, but the kids had a great time at the playground.

Fall colors.

Nami and Papa Cain have come for a visit. Nami has NEVER left the USA until her visit to us here. They have adjusted to the time difference very well. I'll post more exciting posts of our visit later on.

Things are fixed

Not sure how it happened, but things are all fixed now. Now on to the good stuff!!

Jenna and Bill...Dollar Bill as some of the kids in her class call him, went to a Girl Scout Father/Daughter dance. Daddy took Jenna to Chili's for dinner and then on to the dance. She got a corsage before the dance and then he bought her a rose at the dance. They had a very good time together. Jenna was exhausted!

Not sure what is going on

I haven't been able to read anyone who has a blogspot blog. I'm not sure what the problem is or even how to fix it. This is what I'm getting when I try to access the blogs...
