Saturday, May 24, 2008 we went to the Seoul Grand Park. Andrew and Mark enjoyed all the animals. Andrew had two preferred animals – the turtles and the Meerkats. Mark’s choice was the Hippopotamus. I wish you could have heard him say Hippo. It was precious. Our favorite was this cute little Lesser Panda (as he was labeled in English). I could have just taken him home with us. I have never seen a creature that looked like this little guy…just adorable. One slight disappointment was I could only see one giraffe way off in the distance in the giraffe potties. But the giraffe potties still make me laugh. Korean zoos are a bit different then American zoos. But overall, we all had a wonderful time at the Seoul Grand Park. After, the zoo we went over to a friend’s place for dinner. The kids had fun playing and the adults had a great time talking. It was also our first real meal since our sickness this past week. It felt great to eat again!

The giraffe potties make me laugh, too! Sorry they weren't as awesome as advertised.
Also sorry to hear you've been sick! What happened? I hope you weren't all sick at the same time...that makes it so difficult...
The nurse we had last night was in the army for eight years and spent a lot of time in Korea. It was fun to chat with him and hear more about what the country is like! Love, S
Mark started throwing up this past Tuesday...Andrew on Wednesday...Joseph on Thursday...I nerver did throw up...but I did not want to move all day Friday. No, temp for any of us. I am calling it the Korean YUCK! Even thought we ate last night for the first time. Joseph and I did not feel so good once we got home and we have yet to eat breakfast. So, we will see what today brings. We may just stay closer to home. When was your nurse in Korea and which camp (I think that is what the army calls their bases)? I'm sure he had some great stories. The Korean people are really neat and very kind. Joseph has been here two other times before this one and I always love to hear his stories. Love, J
OH NO! That's horrible! I'm so sorry you were all sick and are not yet feeling 100%. I hope that you're fully recovered now!
I'm not sure where Jeff was stationed, but he definitely is the exploring type. He hiked everywhere he could possibly hike, and saw all the sights. In fact, he said he wished the country was bigger so he could explore some more! He also said he was disappointed that he couldn't get to Japan--the closest he got was seeing Mt. Fuji out the window of a plane. It was fun to talk with him, and he was here for 12 hours straight as our private nurse, so thank goodness he was fun!
The kids are back to 100% the parents are not there yet but very close i hope. we just got home. So, I'll write more once I've had some sleep. Love you, J
