Lotte World



mya hoarding her balls. they had this great ball area complete with launchers, air blowers, etc. it was very similar to the children's museum in boston, but BETTER!


claire next to a cute little guy. it really was such a cute place. perfect for all ages.

mya checking out the huge keyboard. they even had drums and a guitar that worked. so sweet. this kiddo is drawn to music. she dances all the time.


claire and mya catching a ride on the rotating flowers. they actually had little rides that constant moved. you just hop on and off. so awesome. the best part is that everything in the area is made of that soft plasticy stuff, so it is completely safe.

claire and daddy catching a ride up the wall and around in their sweet ride.

claire and mya riding their pumpkin stagecoach.

daddy jammin on keyboard with claire on the guitar.


here is a ball launcher. you fill up the table and push a button--the balls fly out. so fun and soft.

here is the Jungle Book area. Every little area related to a children's story. Loved this place.
We took the kiddos to Seoul on Friday evening for a couple of days of R&R. Not really, but a break from the norm. Time away is always nice. We decided to go to Lotte World, which is similar to The Mall of America, but on a much larger scale. The best part of the deal was that it only cost about $10 per person. It was AWESOME!! We will definitely be going back there. I was a bit concerned that being our kiddos are so small in both age and stature that they would be very limited in what they could ride. That was not the case at all. They went on anything and everything their little hearts desired. Thankfully, they both seem to take after me in the thrill/adventure seeking realm as neither of them were too concerned with the heights or scaryness. Chris, on the other hand, wasn't so taken. He did not want to go anywhere near the air balloons. The issue was that by the time we made our way over there, the line was dreadfully long. Another day. The key to our incredible day was that we arrived almost as it opened, so we were able to go on many rides without waiting. However, by the time lunch rolled around, even the merry go round had a long wait. It was a really great day. We wandered through the mall a bit afterwards, but truthfully, we were all so tired, that naps were calling.

I misread it and thought it was Latte World. Sigh, I was slightly disappointed. $10 a head is awesome! And it looks everyone had fun. :)

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
