Friday night Joseph and I went on our second date since I arrived on the ROK. It was a double date with Owen and Lynniece…I hope they don’t get tired of hanging out with us! We all had dinner at the O’Club and then went over to see MAMA MIA! It was an amusing blast of a show. I’m glad we finally got to see it. 
Saturday we got to talk to both sets of Grandparents which was good. Then we headed over to Andrew’s first soccer game here. It started raining just a little on the way over. They played anyway and made it until about half way though the game when it started thundering and pouring! Andrew played a great game and scored one goal, and his team was ahead three to zero when they called the game. The name of his team is the Gold Tigers and they played against the Purple Bombers. After the game we had planned on going to the Seoul Forest but given the rain we went with plan “B” and headed to Seoul to go to the National Museum which has a children’s museum. But unfortunately not only did the rain change our plans but the traffic was HORRIBLE! So, we got off the road and tried to go to the Flower Market but it was closed. So, we went over to a mall and got some ice cream to try to save part of the day. We had all had enough of sitting in traffic for over two hours for a trip that should taken 45 minutes and given the traffic we were still another hour away from where we wanted to go, YUCK! Anyway, I guess we were just not meant to make it to Seoul this past weekend. I did finish my book club book, which is good since our first meeting is this coming Wednesday. The book is titled The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. It is a great little read that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. It made me cry, laugh, pray, and think.

Sunday, the kids and I went to church and then out to lunch with Moonja and Jong Gun and their kids. We went to a yummy Chinese’s restaurant. We worked on our plans for this coming weekend’s activities in Andong at the International Maskdance festival. We can’t wait for the weekend to get here. Andrew went over to Moonja and Jong Gun’s home for a play date and Mark, Joseph and I had our own play date going grocery shopping, playing at the playground and going to a cookout. It was a relaxing Sunday!
