Yesterday we went to Ch'eongju.  Here are the boys on the bus. 

It was a 2.5 hour drive, and they played and did their homework reasonably well.  They were most excited about the rest area with 호떡 (Korean hotcakes filled with cinnamon and pinenuts), toy vending machines, and drinks with wind-up toys in the caps (AJ is playing with a jumping Gorilla that he calls Mr. Jumpy in the photo above).

We went to meet my friend (adult on the right) and her little sister and to see my friend's new daughter and (surprise!) her sister's little girl, too.

BJ was very 7 years old there, but he ate tonkatsu very well while AJ ate LOTS of watermelon (and a little tonkatsu).

Soon, Sunny's sweet little baby became very, VERY tired and had to be taken out and home.  Since it was much too hard to keep boys quiet indoors, and, after all, they had already been in a bus for a long time, we went to the playground.

Sunny's little sister got a taste of little boys.  After playing with them, she and her baby both went back and took a long nap.

Sunny's niece, holding Sunny's little sister's baby, just had to laugh at the whole thing.

And AJ played with his new toy car...

While BJ pouted on a swing.

So we all took a walk...

Past a dinosaur...

To the toystore where BJ got THIS!

AJ could hardly contain his excitement.  Thank you, Sunny Imo!!
