Dining Out 2007

One of the few times Chris and Ruth get to dress up and go out for a "fancy" dinner-notice my newly shorn locks!! (shorter hair for all those normal people who don't understand my jargon!!)

2nd edition Mud Pies and Dirt Cakes

There are too many pictures of mud-related activities so we'll just show the before and after pictures!!

Ooh Pretty Lights!!

This 4th of July's fireworks were very pretty and impressive. There of course was the little festival that they have every year as well with the fire trucks and bands, etc. I don't have a picture of it but we all had matching Old Navy flag tees!!

National Geographic here we come!!

The title says it all!! These were amazing to both of us.

Camels in Korea!!??

This was the kids first look at, much less riding of an "exotic" animal-they were definetely cheesing it the whole time!!

Korean zoo....oh no what will we find!!

Actually we found some very pretty things and had some really cool photo "ops" for Chris's new SLR camera. This fountain was right at the entrance and it was very pretty-and then the other picture which wasn't supposed to get included in this particular entry but oh well was definetely a Korean ghetto rig-it was a fun climbing cargo net connected to this large concrete pole in the middle of the ground but as the kids get closer to the top it starts to sway back and forth and you look at the ground where the pole, you would suppose would be concreted in the ground or anchored in some way but of course it wasn't-it was just like someone had dug a big hole with a post hole digger and just dropped it in and thought that would be sufficient....well needless to say we got the children down lickety-split (that last phrase was courtesy of my mom!!)

Shrinking Violet?

She did pretty well on our hike, but sometimes hiking isn't Destinee's cup of tea....so this last picture is a good view with a smile on her face....Kyle's hat is cute huh!! I actually filled it with COLD mountain stream water and dumped it on his head right before this picture and he didn't care a bit!!
