Osan and Saturday

A couple days before I left (It is still hard for me to believe that I was still there less than a week ago)  we went down to Osan shopping area for the day.  We had fun walking through all the stores down there and looking at the interesting Korean merchandise one last time.  After walking around there we went back home for awhile and then went onto post to let Alden play on the playground and get some energy out after being on a bus and in a stroller for most of the day.  It was a fun day that wasn't too stressful or long right before leaving.

These are a couple pictures of the more run down areas in Osan.  In parts of the shopping area I feel like I took a wrong turn and I am in some back alley but it is just the way it is set up.

Alden had fun in the stroller watching everything around him and eating his snacks.

This is the main street in the shopping area.

Alden was tired when we got back on the bus because it was time for his nap but he stayed awake until we got home and then fell asleep.

I had fun watching the sun set at the playground.

It was dark by the time we left the playground but that also meant that it had cooled off a lot so we weren't hot on our walk back to the apartment.

It was a fun and memorable day.  We all had a blast being together and for us that was the best part of the day.  Just being together as a family and doing something fun!

Olympic Park Picnic

The last Friday night I had in Korea we packed up a dinner and went over to Olympic Park to eat there.  We figured that it would give us a chance to be outside and give Alden a chance to play.  The weather ended up actually being really nice, which was lucky because it had been raining earlier that day.  Here are the pictures from our little evening outing.

We went over to the rose garden first because we didn't get a chance to go by there the last time that we were at the park.

They had this cool piece of artwork in the middle of the rose garden.

We had fun looking at all the different flowers that they had.

 This was where we stopped for our dinner.

Alden had fun playing with his bottle cap while we ate dinner and making Drew and I laugh.

 This bird was hopping around nearby and Alden enjoyed watching it, just like he enjoys watching all animals.

They have a nice playground at Olympic Park that we let Alden play on after dinner.  He enjoyed playing on this horse and running around following all the big kids.

We left the playground when Alden started getting tired.  We all had a good time at the park that evening and it was nice to let Alden play somewhere a little different for an evening.
