This week was my first Spring Break since ..... well, let's not say since when. Holly was on break this week, as was Sarah. What's a stay at home mom to do? Keep them so busy they don't have time to wreck the house right?!?!?! Well, it was a whirlwind week full of friends, fun, and learning.
On Monday, the girls and I hit Everland for the day. It was a beautiful day and the park wasn't that crowded, which was really nice. The tulips and other spring flowers are starting to pop up and most of the flowering trees were in bloom. I discovered they had a times guide in English printed up, so we were able to hit a few shows. The girls really enjoyed the seal show and they have a new festival square show complete with some magic tricks. Mostly we just walked around, enjoyed the flowers, and played until the sun went down.
We headed to the Gwacheon National Science Museum on Tuesday with a great group of ladies. This is where Holly's field trip was a few weeks ago. Sarah had a lot of fun exploring with Holly and Holly had a great time showing Sarah all the stuff she learned before. Again, this time I discovered an English times guide (seriously, why did I not see these before). We went to the Robot Dancing show, the shortest robot demo of all of them. It was a lot of fun - seven robots dancing to K-pop. We spent a majority of our time in with the dinosaurs and down in the hands on science areas.
Wednesday brought us some cooler weather, but we decided to brave it anyhow. We visited the Korean Folk Village with the Haugh's and the Kaercher's. What a great place! It's laid out into the different areas of the peninsula and show how people in those areas live. They also have "showtimes" with a traditional Korean wedding, acrobatics, and a horse show. We didn't get to see everything, because you can't do it all in one day. But it's now been "pre-flighted" for a return trip with Daddy soon!
Come Thursday, the girls were quite tired and ready for a break so we kept it low key. Camp Humphrey's Youth Services held a Prince and Princess party in their new youth gym. We gathered up the Stockman's and the Smiley's and headed down for the day. The girls dressed up in their princess best and they showed Sleeping Beauty on a big blow up screen. They really did this right: popcorn, juice and a copy of Sleeping Beauty for every family who attended. Not sure if the kids watched the movie or not, but they sure had a great time playing in the gym.
Today is also a down day for us. We got out of the house early to run some errands on base and playing at the BX for a little while, but we had to get back hom. Being that I haven't been at the house much, my house is really showing the neglect. Plus, Holly has some homework to do over break, so we are sitting down to get a move on that (another post on this coming soon....).
To finish out our weekend, we plan on taking the girls to Everland Saturday afternoon and staying for the fireworks. Looks like the weather will be perfect for it!
But I think this will be the Spring Break to top for years to come! We had a great time with some wonderful friends, and also got to learn a ton about the country we're living in.
