Last Saturday we went to Seoul Grand Park just to check it out and to give the kids a chance to run wild for a bit. We had thought about going to the zoo but we got off to a late start and it takes nearly 2 hours to get there (mind you it's only about 40 miles from where we live). So, we just wandered around to see what they had to offer. It is right in the middle of a city of over 10 million people - but you would never know you were surrounded by a huge city while you're in the park as it is lush and green everywhere you look.
We sent the kids on their merry way since the walkway was pretty quiet at the time and we were pretty confident we wouldn't loose our little toe-heads.
Loving the large areas of GREEN!
I don't remember Dorothy's house looking like this, but on either side of the house were the characters from the Wizard of Oz.
Oh, the beauty of God's creation!
More random people wanting to get pictures with our blondies.
The Korean people as a whole still think that blonde children are absolutely beautiful and are still kind of a unique sight here. We have people of all ages come up to our children and talk to them and touch their hair, just oohing and aahing over them (really doesn't help in teaching them not to be vain!).
My kids have no idea who the Smurf's are, but they were one of my favorites growing up.
This is a view from the sky lift coming down over the rose garden.
We enjoyed our little excursion and plan on going back to visit the zoo and all the other different areas of this park.

What a great outing! The scenery is really beautiful, Dani! Just to let you know, since Grace & Tristan don't know about The Smurfs, there's a new Smurfs movie in the works for 2011 release!
Thanks for sharing your Korean experiences - I love going on mini-vacations at work. Looks like you're all getting settled in nicely!
