Happy Chusok!!

This week Jonathan and I are enjoying our Chusok vacation. This holiday is kind of like Korean Thanksgiving, and we have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off from school for it! 

We have enjoyed spending time with friends and relaxing at home. Then, yesterday we went to Everland with some of the other teachers. Everland is a "disney-ish" theme park about an hour away. Here are some of our favorite photos from the day...



Here we are at the entrance to Everland!

Happy Halloween!!

This was the Halloween tree at the entrance to the park.

Here is Laura with her friends Jessica, Nicole, and Gail.

The Koreans LOVED these crazy, outlandish headbands.

Jon is excited to ride the rides!!

While the others rode scary rides, Laura hung out with Gail and her son Isaac at the kids' area.

This was the alternative to climbing a giant hill.

Isaac, Gail, and Laura enjoyed the parade!

This was very cool! It was a sky ride over the park. We rode it at night to see all the lights!

This was the VERY COOL light show to end the evening. 
We couldn't understand the Korean, but it was still fun!

LOOK AT THAT ROLLER COASTER IN THE  BACKGROUND! That drop is crazy!

Peanut Buttered Roasted squid...
what else could you possibly want to snack on during your day at the amusement park??


Today and tomorrow, we plan to relax at home and enjoy the time together. Then it's back to school on Thursday! :-)
