Not pumpkin pie


The other day the landlord sent one of his office people up to our apartment to give us a pie. At least that is what I thought it was bringing it into the house. He wanted to give us something for our Thanksgiving. The kids were excited about it and wanted me to open it up as soon as we got it. I should have gotten a picture of the kids’ faces when they saw it. It was not a traditional pie that we would normally have for the holidays. But it was still a nice gesture on his part. I will be sharing it with friends. I will let you know what everyone thinks and says about. It should be interesting since I think that those are vegetables on top.

International Global Festival




We recently visited the International Global Festival in Incheon, Korea. We were the only Americans there; everyone else was Korean. James overheard a couple of elementary school kids asking their parents why the Americans were here. Kind of funny since we were the foreigners that time

We walked around and looked at the futuristic robots that were on displayed. It was quite impressive seeing them first hand. Ben walked out thinking about how he would build one. We ate lunch which consisted of several bowls of Ramen which the kids really loved.

Before we left we wandered over to the kids area where you can purchase ride tickets. The kids really wanted to ride the rickshaw bear. As seen in the picture Ben is trying his best to steer the bear. It was harder than it looks. Ashley really enjoyed the ride.

Before leaving the kids wanted to try their hand at jumping. We waited in line and watched the other kids cry and scream and they still wanted to go. Ashley wanted to be the first one until it was her turn. Instead she immediately pushed Ben in front of her. Ben was a little scared at first but really liked it at the end. Ashley took her turned and loved it.

All in all the day was perfect. The kids enjoyed being out and about, everybody ate the same thing for lunch (always nice to please everyone with the food here) and the weather was perfect. Could not ask much more than that; except for the traffic going back.
