We started at the dinosaur place where some very kind Korean ladies showed us around and seemed very excited to have a whole group of American kiddos visiting.
Have you ever heard of this species? :)
They even showed us this neat little video all about this species of dinosaur that is said to have once lived here in S.Korea....of course we couldn't understand any of it, but the kids sat so nicely and enjoyed the whole thing! :)
She showed us out the window where they had model dinosaur eggs and a t-rex busting through the wall as if he was going to eat them for lunch!
She lead us outside so the kids could play on them and Joy thought it was so funny that all the kids were sitting on giant eggs...
We got to look through the window of what appeared to be a lab where they had some interesting things they were working on.
Finally it was time to head outside to see the real dinosaur egg fossils....
See those hills WAY OVER THERE....Yeah, that's where we're going. :)
The view was gorgeous though and the kids didn't seem to mind the long walk in the sun at all, in fact they ran almost all of it!
We realized after walking for a few minutes that we had our own paparazzi following us. Such is life in S.Korea when you've got a whole group of adorable American kiddos with you! This guy seriously followed us all the way there and back. Every now and then he'd stop and show me one of the pictures he took if he was really proud of it. At the end of our trip back, he took Peter's email and somehow communicated that he would send them to us, so we'll see. I hope he does because he got some great shots with that amazing camera that I would love to have copies of!
There were many creepy crawlies to examine along the way...
It was so peaceful out there, I loved the walk even though it was a little long for the kids.
When we finally arrived, our guides pointed out the fossilized dino eggs...
They pretty much looked like rocks...See the "nest of circles"...those are 'eggs' that have been cut crosswise so they are just flat circles now. :) We saw a few more roped off areas like this and then we headed back.
Here are all the beautiful women and children that Peter
Joy enjoyed the attention from the photographer that followed us and captured every little thing she did. Here she was tying the long grass together and for some reason he thought he needed pictures of that too...
My friend Maia is SUPERWOMAN! She carried both her boys like this for a long part of the trip back...
We tried to get a family shot on the long way back...should have done it on the way out there before everyone was tired!
More sweet Daddy shots...
After our 'car picnic' in the air conditioned vans, we drove out to Jebudo Island. We got to cross the very cool 'Moses Road' to get there that is only open for 8 hours a day. It's called the Moses Road because when the tide comes up the entire thing is covered with water. So if you don't get back across it before the tide starts coming, then you'll be stuck on the island till the tide changes and the waters part to reveal the road again! Here is a picture of the road on our way home. You can see the sandy shores on either side...
The island was very fun for the kids. We checked out the little lighthouse and spent most of the afternoon digging in the sand.
The kids found tons of cool rocks and shells and Peter showed them how to find the crabs and other creatures...they LOVED it!
It was SO muddy! We definitely should have worn rain boots, next time we'll remember!
Samuel loved diggin' in the sand too...
We found TONS of crabs!
Faithy's beautiful sand creation... :)
Mommy likes all the cool rocks too. :)
The kids loved exploring the beaches and we came home with buckets full of shells and rocks. Our friend Carrie's son accidently came home with some shells that were still being lived in and didn't realize it till one crawled across her kitchen counter! :)
I'm so glad he had the day off. :)
There were some REALLY GIANT shells out there!
The sailboats were exciting to see too...
Peter really wanted to go climb those big rocks but we never made it down that far. Maybe next time. :)
It was a very fun day for The Adams' & Friends! :)
