we went hiking out at Seongnam yesterday and it was a lot of fun. It took us just over an hour to get to the top of the mountain where there is this fortress and pavillion. We hung out up there, had a picnic and then started our over 2 hour trek down. A lot of it was nearly vertical and the trail wasn't much of a trail. You had to climb in and around a lot of boulders and tree roots to get around. I applaud Gunnar and doing it with minimal whining. There were a few times he tried to convince us that his legs were broken and that he needed carried, but I tried to keep him distracted by talking about what lives in the mountains and about what he'd do if we were camping. It was a lot of fun. Linc enjoyed his view from the backpack and was a trooper the entire day. I'll try to get my pictures uploaded to flickr so you can check them out if you so desire.
Tonight is girl's night with Shaunna and Sandra. We try to get together every two weeks, but it's been nearly a month. I'm looking forward to it a lot. Chris is being an awesome husband and has agreed to watch Shaunna's daughter Abby while we go out. One thing about Chris--he's really good at stepping up and helping out in situations like this. ALMOST makes him a candidate for Husband-of-the-year... almost! ha ha.
Tomorrow I am substituting in Yangjae again. That means Grace is coming to stay with the kids. I just love her. I wish I could afford, and had the need to have her full-time but I don't. I'll just use her as much as I can. The kids love her too and that makes her that much more awesome!
This Sunday we leave for Sorak-san (Mount Sorak, san is mountain in Korean)and I'm really looking forward to it. We'll be out there for 3 days and it's something I've wanted to do for well over a year and we're finally getting around to it.
So I guess that's it for this week. It's been a fast one. Tuesday was Chusok (Korean Thanksgiving type holiday) and Chris was off Monday and Tuesday. Tomorrow night we'll have friends over for dinner and then Friday is Girls' Night again (with a different group of girls) and then Saturday is Gunnar's soccer game and a Korean Folk Festival. Wheew we have a lot going on!
Peace out!
