October 5th was our 1 year anniversary of being here in Korea (only 1 year more to go!), so we celebrated by doing what we did our first weekend here. When we got here, we introduced to ourselves korean food, for the first time, at the Coex Mall...so we went back to the Coex this year for lunch.
It seems crazy that we've been here for a year already. Hopefully our last year will go as smoothly as this year has gone.
Sitting on the floor!
Pretty mommy posing with her yummy food
Ox intestines casserole?!?! :P No, we didn't order that!!
Having fun with the mirror ceiling
When we went outside after lunch we found a big shindig. Korea is always having shindigs! :) This time it was a fashion festival...lol. :) We enjoyed watching this cool clown!
Who doesn't love a huge plush walking popsicle!
The littles...
Firework festival~~
We left
way too late this time and got totally stuck in the masses! Last time, if you remember that post, we had no problem at all and had great seats. This time....whole different story!!! :)
It was so crazy getting on the subway. You had to push and shove your way through the door....but it wasn't
too hard because the people behind you were pushing you in! Once we got to the front of the line by the door, we had to hold our ground and keep people behind us
behind us, so that we could get on. We got separated in 3 groups. Dad and Bella got on a train, Mom and Kade pushed themselves on the next one, and Dakota and I found a small hole to squeeze in on the next one after that. For a few moments I felt the pain of Rapunzel. When Dakota and I got on the subway my hair totally got stuck between and amongst people...I literally couldn't go anywhere. :) So, I yanked my hair and wadded it all up in my hand and pushed myself on the subway. Once I was safe and sound squished between people. I braided it up. :) Now, I can relate in a small aspect. :)
People were already getting on the subway a few stops ahead, so it was already really full by the time it got to our stop, I'm surprised we got on at all.
I have never been so squished between people in my life! I felt like everybody was participating in a serious
serious group hug!! Most definitely a story to remember!
The subway station.
The subway Dakota and I squished onto.
Getting back home was just as crazy. The subway station wasn't bad because they had tons of police crowd controlling above ground and only allowing a few people at a time to go down into the subway station. But, it was majorly clogged at top, but not down in the station.
Seoul Tower~~
It's been a year and we just now got up into Seoul Tower. We've hiked up to Seoul Tower before, but this was the first time actually going up in it.
Our road in front of our "village"

Watching the martial arts demostration before heading up in the tower
Best parents ever! :)
That's home right there!!!!
City, city, city....
We could smell this all over and finally demanded it must be found. So, our lovely Daddy went on the hunt to find the source of the intoxicating smell. He scored big time! Eager little happy hands are quick to welcome the warm yummy caramel corn! Thanks, Dad!
Our little goof-ball! What a joy...
We had a fun weekend and created lots of memories.
Looking forward to the next year of memories here in Korea.
