Korea (Part 2)

I'll finish up the pictures of Korea this week so that we can post Halloween pictures next week.


First we harvested persimmons. I have to tell you that these are so yummy. If you've never experienced them, you are missing out, especially the ones that are overripe and falling off the tree. My face was covered with sticky goodness.

Then we harvested chestnuts (both from my in-laws' farm). Chestnuts were a bit harder since you can't touch them or pick them up with your hands. You have to use a pair of metal tongs to pry the chestnuts out. 

While we were in Korea, my birthday came and went. My Korean family celebrated in great style with a feast, presents and the singing of "Happy Birthday."  I tried to upload the video of the birthday singing but it didn't work.  In it my older brother-in-law (고모부) is singing "Happy Birthday" in English and everyone else is singing in Korean. It's pretty great. 

A few days later, we went to a huge tower in Daegu that overlooks the whole city.  It had this exhibit inside where you can pose like you are a part of the picture. Here are some of our favorites. 

Everywhere we went, Hana was always the center of attention and you can see why. She's just so cute.

Unfortunately our trip had to come to an end. We had a great dinner on our last night there. We tried to get more pictures of family and were more successful than we have been on past trips.

We took full advantage of the plane's bassinet and not only did Hana sleep in it but she also played in it when we propped her up. 

That is the extent of our pictures from the trip. We loved going and hope to go again soon.
