Visit From the Idaho People

E likes to refer to Ben's family as the Idaho people.  We were lucky to have a few of the Idaho people come visit us.  A few days after we got P's passport we picked up Ben's parents and sister, Anna, at the airport in Seoul.  They stayed with us just over a week.  They got in some baby snuggles, playtime with E, and some Korean culture experiences.  (But we all know the real reason to come was for these kiddos.)

They arrived Sunday night then spent Monday wandering around the markets and streets of Seoul.  This, of course, was quite the experience for them.  After living here 18 months you forget how strange some things are!

After all the exploring, eating and shopping we headed down to our house.  Anna and I rode the bus with baby P while everyone else drove down.

For most of the adventures I stayed home with the babe and sometimes E.  The first stop was to the Tongyeong Cable Cars.  We went with Emma for her 2nd birthday.  From what I hear they had a great time enjoying the beauty of Korea.

They also went to the P.O.W. camp from the Korean War which was located on the island.

We enjoyed a dinner at our favorite Korean BBQ.

They also went to a neighboring city, Jinju, to the fortress used in the 1500's.  

They went on a drive around the island.

Ben had to go into work one day so I took them to the bamboo forest where we enjoyed a nice walk (my mom also came along).

It was fun for Ben's family to see where we live, where E goes to school and the just see the girls.  We enjoyed reading, playing, dancing...

and snuggling!
