Ice Ice Ice!!!

We have a friend here who posts a lot of fun things to do here in Daegu on her facebook page. This was one of her facebook page ideas and she wasn't able to find this place, but since we bought a GPS here we thought that we'd give it a try. It is called Mountain Biseul Ice Park. And after 2 hours of driving we found it. It would have taken 1 hour but I called a wrong turn from the GPS and it was about another 50 minutes later to find another route. Opps! We loved being able to watch some of the ice sculptors use the chainsaws to start working on the ice. The boys were in amazement as to how much ice it took to make a large ice sculptor. They had water squirting onto some of the trees and some very large igloo type area where you could walk right through. Very fun, and free, but not realizing how long it was going to take up to get there, we decided to eat dinner when we got home. 8:30pm dinner not too bad right? Well, it is because we usually eat around 5-5:30pm. It was worth the drive to be able to experience something different including the toll booths that we couldn't read what lane to get into and found that going and coming back we got into the wrong lanes and got the sirens and honks from cars behind us. Oh well, all they had to do was look at us and say some remarks about the stupid foreigners under their breath and then move on. But we are attempting to move out of our little area of Daegu and try a few more things. Next time we are going to try the driving during the daytime.

Birthday boy

Our baby is nine! What a special little guy he is. We can't say enough great things about him because he is such a neat little boy. He is still loving reading and if he is into a book enough, it takes great force to pull him away from it. He is loving legos and is now discovering that he can put them together with the directions by himself. Lets just say that he got quite a few of them for his birthday. And most are now put together. We had a birthday get together for him on his birthday with a few boys from our church. And they watched Karate Kid and had a blast. The day after his birthday he told us that is was still his birthday because if we were in the United States it would be his birthday then. So I guess in a way we had two special days.
