April 8, 2012 Mike's Visit to Korea

Over the last week I was in Korea for work and spend most of the evenings doing the tourist things.  It was LEGEND...wait for it...DARY! 

We went to the national palace and saw these actors pretending to be warriors.  
I really was scared they were going to stab me for getting too close.

One of these guys had a hard time keeping a straight face.   It was funny to watch. 




What's a trip to Korea without visiting the Electronics Market?


And then visiting the electronics market again...

 
And then eating chicken on a stick while visiting the electronics market.
I love this country!
(if you didn't notice, we visited the electronics market every day)

 Major Woo, where are we going again?


We found dumplings of succulent joy.
I did I mention it was all you can eat?


This river was cool, right in the middle of the city.  Because it was 20 feet down,
 you couldn't hear the traffic and it really felt like a peaceful place.


The Korean War monument.


Korean War Museum. 


Our last dinner...in Korea.  Mmmm, yummy pork ribs.


Why not top the meal off with Pork Bellies (aka Bacon Stake).  
Cook 'em up Ed.

April 8, 2012 Carma and Rachel

 W day at preschool.  


 Also 13 so Jen had the kids make watermelons with 13 seeds


 They ate watermelon and made a wish.  Which is the name of our new fish.


 Fun day!


 We went up and visited Dri.  This is Chloe playing at Nattie-o's park


 Rex point out all the airplanes.


 Dri's work


 Aaaaaa



 Preschool Easter party


 It was yummy


We went up to the Skagit Valley with Carma and Rachel.  We visited the  "tulip festival"  Only the tulips weren't blooming yet, only daffodils.






 These were the only tulips out.  We had to document them




Frogger


 Chloe's outfit matches these flowers


 Gum wall It was way more sick in person than I anticipated.


 Rachel and Carma enjoying Seattle.  It was so fun to have them.  The kids loved all the extra attention.  Chloe would perform then look at them and say "clap."


 Playing at the park



The kids kept chasing Jesse he thought he could escape them by climbing so I passed the kids up to hang out.


This morning was Easter and Chloe saw her basket and burst into tears.  They were not tears of joy.  She was very upset that the Easter eggs she collected yesterday were MIA.  I explained that I set them aside and filled her basket with new presents and she immediately stopped crying and said "Oh."

 This week we went to the capitol and took pictures.


 We kept getting dirty because the ground was all wet.
























This was the only time when the kids really smiled.  You can see the back part of the dog they are smiling at.





 Kade fell about 10 seconds after getting out of the car and needed to barrow Rex's pants.  Fine by Rex.


 Seth and Kade are so CUTE!
