Seoul Grand Park

Last week, we went up to Seoul to visit the Seoul Grand Park; it's a large zoo, with a lot of things to look at and guess what...the leaves were beautiful (remember, I have a minor obsession with the leaves and their beautiful changing of colors). Anyways, as it turns out, it was a warm day and we had so much fun, just taking our time, walking around, and looking at the animals. J and J were thrilled to get cotton candy; actually that was one of the big highlights for them! Gone are the mild, pretty fall days! It is FRIGID, all of a sudden. Cold, like you don't step out of the house (apartment) without your big coat, gloves, hat and a scarf...seriously!! I am starting to ramble, I'm sorry. But I just have to say that the whole layering process adds what seems to be about 10 minutes to our morning routine; I don't have time for all of this, but I also don't want us to freeze as we walk Jannah to school! One more ramble, if I may. It snowed yesterday!! Not enough to stick, but enough for the kids to go out on the balcony, all excited (and barefoot), and enjoy the flakes!! I do like winter, but I think this is going to be long, as I'm already a little weary from all that goes with cold weather...too bad I have about 4 more months! Back to the original post, our great day trip...

Giraffes, meerkats and bears...oh my!

J and J with their cotton candy...the highlight of the day :)

isn't he such a cutie...what color do you think his hair is?

being silly; actually, Jannah wanted to "have a sit and eat a snack", so we did

Check out this kimchi pot waterfall; do you have one of these in your backyard?

one last picture of my babies in the leaves!
