Boys at Dobongsan

One Saturday I took my friends boys up to Dobongsan (Dobong Mountain). It was fun, but by the end they were really grumpy. I think taking children hiking isn't necessarily the best idea, especially when you have to walk 30 minutes just to get to the mountain. Hope you like the pictures! They are so funny. One boy is named Charles, and then when his younger brother went to Kindergarten he decided that he wanted his name to be Charles too. So they are both named Charles.

Winter Camp 2011

This winter I had 2 different camps: one for third and fourth graders and one for first and second graders. It was really fun, and I loved it. Below is a slideshow of pictures from camp.

Guam!

This year we decided that we needed to get away, so we took a trip to Guam! It was fabulous and a much needed vacation. We spent a few days there and loved it so much. We would definetly go back if we had the chance.

Here are some pictures from our trip . . .

National Museum of History

Well despite living through the coldest winter of my life . . . Chris thought it was a good idea to stop hibernating and to get out. So we took an afternoon to explore the Korean National Museum. It was really great. We got tired though, and found and awesome window nook there where we were able to just relax and talk. It was awesome, and we both really enjoyed it!

Friend's Visit

When I was in high school I went on a trip to New Zealand for a month. The trip was awesome, and I made some really great friends. One of my best friends on the trip is named Jessalyn. It has been 10 years since the trip, but we would periodically catch up online.

In recent years Jessalyn became a flight attendant. So she is able to fly all over the world. Well, the last time she stopped in Seoul we got to hang out and reconnect. It was really great. Here are some pictures of us.

Blind Kids Camp

In January, I was given the opprotunity to volunteer at an English camp for blind Korean children. I loved it, and it really impacted my life and changed how I thought about people. I love those kids so much, and I am so grateful for the days that I got to spend with them.

We put on the play little red riding hood, and these boys were the hunter and the wolf

Gyeongju

For Chris' birthday this year, we took a trip down to Gyeongju. Gyeongju is one of the prettiest cities and oldest cities in Korea. In fact, it was the original capital of Korea. Thus, there are tons of things to see and do there. Below is a slideshow of some of our pictures from the trip
