Cub Scout Camp Korea

Wednesday through Friday Braxton and I went to his Cub Scout Day Camp near Seoul Korea by Camp Humphreys. This first picture is Braxton showing his skills at the archery range.























Then at the BB gun range he demonstrates his sniper skills. So you better watch out!











Finally Braxton demonstrates his dance moves, as Pack 81 performs for the rest of the Far East Council scouts.

This week's dates!

This week Isaiah and I were able to have mommy and son time while Brandon and Braxton were out to scout camp. We had a blast! Isaiah was a wonderful date. He was such a good kid and it made it very fun to be able to take him out. He took me to get my hair done and clothing shopping on our first day out. He didn't complain and even got a treat and to the library for a few books to read and a few videos because he was so good. He even got to help the hairstylist blow dry my hair which he loves to do anyway. Day two we went took the subway downtown picked up a craft to work on, saw Madagascar 3 in English (Yay!), went out to eat at Isaiah's favorite restaurant Pasta Buono, and to top it all off to McDs for an ice cream cone. The last day of our dates we spent up in Ap'san Mountain. We took the cable car to the top and back to see Daegu city in it's entirety. It has been getting hot, hot, hot here and the humidity is pretty unbearable, so we had a quick picnic and started to head home when we found some school children having a field trip and looking for things in the water. So yes, we just had to find out what was going on and because Isaiah is still pretty cute to the Koreans and he is American he was allowed to join in the fun. The kids were floating boats that they had made from bamboo leaves and finding little critters in the water. They kept trying to tell us what each thing was but we still weren't able to find out what they were from lack of understanding. But we saw leach type things, tadpoles and crawfish which they called lobsters. But what a fun day it was. He and I had some great bonding and that was the important thing. Sorry about a lot of the pictures. I had borrowed Braxton's camera because Brandon had mine camping and some of the pictures came out sideways.

Took the picture too late the noodles come out looking like a volcano. Yum!

Looking out at Daegu. Behind Isaiah to the right you can see orange roofs behind apartment buildings. That is Camp Walker and around them it's golf course. Woot! Woot! We can identify one thing in the picture.

Love locks!

Bugs in the ears!!!

Wicked!

I have been wanting to see the show Wicked for some time now. I even read the book this past December and was so excited to see that it was in town... Well in Seoul (4 hours away). Brandon and the kids decided to give me a ticket for Mother's day and so I invited a friend to go with me. We took the fast train (1 hour 45 min.) up to Seoul on Friday night and took the subway to the theater. The theater was right outside of the subway exit. We only had to walk about 50 feet. It was so awesome! What a great performance. It was by an Australian team and so it was in English(bonus)what an experience! The costumes were amazing and I could just go on and on... We then took the subway to the closest stop to the temple and stayed over night at the temple. Here they have an area attached to the temple where there are dorm room type areas that you can rent for $10 per night if you are going to be doing temple work. So we slept there and had a session on Saturday morning. We then went to a touristy area in Seoul called Itawon where there are some amazing eating places. I was so excited to be able to see that there was a Thai restaurant there where I could have some Pad Thai. Yum! There was also a English book store that sold new and used books. Yay! A place to find books where we don't have to wait for Amazon to come through. Cheaper?... No! Not really, about the same but in a place where if we are in the area a quick was to get a few new books for both the adults and the kids both.
