Korean Folk Village

We had beautiful weather today and decided to get out and enjoy it.  We took a trip to a Koran Folk Village.  For those of you in MI, think Korean version of Greenfield Village.  We all had a fun day and it was a great learning experience.  I think I'll have to go back late spring to see it again once everything has greened up around here.

Warning...I got a little carried away with the pics.  Enjoy!

The girls!

Molly is such a Daddy's Girl.

Fresh buds and flowers on the trees.

Spring has sprung!

Dried chili peppers

Plowing the fields.

Check out this cow's harness.  Right through the nose.  Ow!

Bamboo baskets and wares.

Workers in the bamboo workshop.

Clay Kimchi Pots.  These are almost as tall as Molly.

Molly was so excited to see the goat.  Until the goat sneezed on her....3 times.

Silk Spinning

Typical farm setting.

This was a really pretty garden area.

We're not sure what the cloths in the tree mean, but thought they were pretty.

Nancy & Morgan

"This is a traditional single-log bridge.  Take care the drop and watch out your step, please."

"Husband for sale.  W7,000 Korean Won.  Includes the hat."

Our Lil' Monkey

Molly is our "Wild Child", "Ham", "Princess", "Baby Girl", and "Lil' Monkey".  I thought she was looking exceptionally cute today so I tried to snap some pictures of her in her "monkey dress".  Because she is our "Lil' Monkey", she wouldn't sit still for a pic.  Although I still managed to get a few.  Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We didn't do much to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Seoul today.  The weather was beautiful though, so we all spent the afternoon outdoors.  Morgan was aloud to wear green to school in support of the Irish holiday.  To our surprise Morgan doesn't own any green clothes.  In our attempt to find something we saw the shirt that Molly was supposed to wear today.  The same green shirt that Morgan wore at age 2 1/2.  I held it up to her with no doubt that it would be too small.  But sure enough the shirt fit and Morgan wore it to school...and looked cute if I do say so.  She received a few extra kisses today which I think are meant to be lucky.

"Kiss me I'm Cute"

Nana brought this special hat for Morgan.  She took it to school and the kids all got a kick out of it.

Molly gets so excited to see Morgan coming home on the bus.  Here she is pointing to the bus saying "Sissy Bus"!!

Molly on her bike.  Almost big enough to reach the pedals.

Having fun with Nana!

Double Parked...Again???

Here is another example of being double parked in Seoul.  Imagine coming back to your car after shopping, eating out, or being in a meeting only to find your vehicle 10 feet in the air!!!
