Seoul Forest

We took Jocey on our first adventure to Seoul Forest, it was only about 10-15 min. away from our house. We love new experiences and it was great being outside. Logan and Jocey wanted to climb all the way to the top but it had a gate blocking the path so they went as high as they could.

Yes, we saw turtles in the insect garden and it was so sad. These huge turtles in a little cage. The kids thought they were pretty cool.
I couldn't find this insect for so long. Finally Logan and Addy come over and two seconds later they had found it! If you look closely you will be able to see it right next to the glass.
Seoul Forest also had a butterfly room, which the kids loved! They had so much fun chasing butterflies.


Almost every park in Korea has exercise equipment. I was telling Jocey about it and sure enough here it is. In fact when we were leaving we saw this little old Grandma practically doing the splits so....it must work!
Logan thanks for sharing with us how we all felt....HOT AND SWEATY! It isn't so bad yet but enough to remind me of what it will be like.
Seoul Forest also has a deer area, it was fun to see them. Logan and Addy were sad they didn't get to pet them. This portion of the park was closed so we looked from far off.

These slides were awesome. We thought the one below was huge until we saw this one! It was super fun the kids loved it.
Aunt Jocey, what a great sport! The kids were a bit nervous at first so she went with them.


Seoul Forest was also filled with many beautiful flowers and trees. Definitely different but it was really fun. We all had a great morning and enjoyed being outside on an adventure. It was nice to see young kids and youth aged kids in this park. They loved seeing my kids and of course we had a few come and practice their English on us. It was fun and so nice to have Jocey with us.


It is going to be a fun filled month with Jocey around. I hope I can stay caught up on all of our adventures.

Yeah, why doesn't America have any huge random slides, eh? That looks like a good time.

To my dear Korean family-

It is so crazy to see Jocelyn in all your pictures. I can't believe she is really there! She has looked forward to this day for so long.

I love you all and I'm so glad you're together making memories and pictures. We looked at all of them. We love you all so much.

Love,
Grandma Pauleen-

PS I guess it's been awhile, so I finally saw Addy in her Cinderella dress and Logan in her crown. Addy looks awesome. Happy Birthday dear little Addy. Happy birthday to you my dear Spencer. We are so proud of your accomplishments, and so grateful that you passed all your tests, and you are safely back with your family. We're so glad that Jocey can be there with you. Make wonderful memories together.
