New friends and IAAF World Championships

We recently met some friends at a park here, who quickly became our frinds. Jin and her son Yong Ho invited our family to dinner and to the IAAF World Championships here in Daegu. We were excited but a little nervous to try the subway and new foods. Our friend Jin was a cook by profession and cooked us some traditional Korean food. We can't remember the names of what she made, but Brandon's favorite was a clear noodle that we found out is made out of sweet potatoes (his mom would be proud). She also made a dish that Braxton likes made with anchovies. Brandon tried it and did his best to overlook the fish eyes and heads. Over all we tried new foods and kind of liked the experience. We walked to the stadium from thier house and had a blast. When we got there there was an area for kids to try some of the events that they were going to be seeing, and because we are still living in a hotel, our boys needed this experience. What a great experience to see the world's top atheletes competing in men's javelin, women's high jump, women's 4X400m relay, men's 200m, we also saw some wheel chair races. Wow! We were on the edge of our seats the entire time. We are so grateful to have met Jin and Yong Ho. They are truly what we have come to know the Korean people to be like since we have been here. They are so willing to go out of their way to help anyone. We are so blessed to be here in Daegu and are looking forward to what new experinces we will be having in the future.
