jam packed day

we've been here about three weeks now and haven't done much except adjust, get settled and survive with little bits of fun thrown in here and there. bbq and blues was on the docket for today up until last night.we decided to mix up life a bit and head to seoul. first we thought we check out the coex mall but then our adventurous side took hold. we ultimately decided to spend the day at the "children's grand park." it was a goldmine! we didn't pay a cent, which we aren't entirely sure why that is--either it truly is free or the person who was supposed to stop to redirect us to some secret ticket booth didn't speak english. either way, we thought it was fantastic. it is a botanical garden, which provides some gorgeous landscapes for photos, a zoo, and playground, fountain set to music like at the bellagio in vegas (mya's absolute favorite. we had to tear her away, tears and all.), sprinkler park and good old fashioned family fun rolled into one gigantic park. it was gorgeous, planned very well, clean and had something for everyone. the animals were a huge hit with our kiddos. they had just the right number and the animals were actually active. the lions were moving around, standing on rocks, the elephants were frolicing as much as elephants can do, as well as zebras, camel rides, tigers, leopards, seals, monkeys, polar bears, and  llamas too. it was great. i really can't say anything bad about it other than the food, but that is strictly due to our limited appetites for untested korean cuisine. this is definitely going to be a must do again adventure.
