Going to the zoo...

Everyone has had a chance to go to the zoo in the Epp/Hamilton family except me. I finally got my chance this past weekend. The zoo is located at Seoul Grand Park, a few metro stops away from us. This area also features museums, a science center, and Seoul Land, a large amusement park. We went with our neighbor/friends and their kids. We saw some animals (and learned their Korean names), but I think the best things were that it was beautiful weather, Seoul Grand park is surrounded by mountains and has many gorgeous and colourful trees scattered throughout, and there was a great place to play for the kids. Also, there was a dolphin/sealion show. I was told that there would be a monkey that rides the dolphin but I was disappointed to find that the monkey is no longer in the show. Joe told me that the dophins ate the monkey. He was kidding. But I believed him.

Here is the evidence.
First, the beautiful fall colors...over the stairs to the crocodile slide.
Joe and 'Diana' SeoYeong.
Diana and 'Frank' (MinJun) were very fond of playing thumb wrestling with Joe. Joe was very popular with the kids.
Dolphin show! Naomi took this one.

Here's Naomi with here friends.
This basically speaks for itself.

There was lots of candy - included with the three candy-filled umbrellas were plastic tops. (see above)
