I was pronouncing this "bock-jay", when it is actually pronounced "beck-jay", so imagine my Korean friends confusion when she thought I was telling her I had gone to the "stuffing" festival, when in reality I was at a type of cultural festival. It took her a day to figure out what I was saying, before she figured it out she couldn't imagine there was a festival for stuffing! We both had a great laugh at my expense.
The festival was in Buyeo-gun (I think) about three hours away. We took a USO tour. Before the hitting the festival we stopped at the Buyeo National Museum....it looks like the kids had great fun, doesn't it?
They really did have a good time, they just don't like posing for all the pictures I take....for goodness sakes, they are "professionals" now and can't tolerate all Moms’ pictures! :)
So, these next sets of pictures are pretty funny (we thought so anyway).
No, I didn't goof up and put up a sign for the rest room. We were pretty happy to see this sign, as someone in our group always needs a potty.....
So, imagine our surprise when we saw it was actually a "RESTING ROOM"
How fun is this country? I love it, a resting room!!!
I ask the kids to "pose" for the next picture, and this is what I got..
For the next picture I was a bit more specific, "look at the camera and smile"....still it didn't help too much, I forgot to mention, don't grab your package.
Korean children always want to have their picture taken with my children (it's the blonde hair), most of the time my children are happy to oblige, but today the boys were running wild, playing a game of tag, so Girl jumped into the picture with them, this time I snapped on also.
After the museum, we headed out to lunch where the Mayor of the city of Buyeo-gun treated us all to a fabulous spread. (I didn't take a picture of the food) There was great Korean food, as well as spaghetti with red sauce, and cereal and (cow's) milk. When you see this you know you are being treated well, how thoughtful it is to include some American favorites. Girl was happy to see this; she is my only child that doesn't care too much for most Korean food. Hubby and I were happy to see the sashimi, and sushi, all the boys were happy to see the bulgogi. We all stuffed ourselves silly here.
Hubby and I outside the restaurant, feeling very full....
After lunch, our next stop was the "stuffing" (hahahaha!! I crack myself up) festival. We had so much fun here, the only downfall was we did not have enough time here!
Boy 3 was in heaven! He LOVES trains, so when he got to ride this one he was so excited. Plus, the guy running the train thought he was so cute, he kept letting him ride it over and over and over!
All the little ones had fun playing in the bouncy things...
This is where we sat and waited while the little ones played. These really nice Korean's invited us to sit on their mat and hang out with them. We tried to have conversation with them, they knew some English and we can understand a little Korean (with hand gestures) so we had an enjoyable time. The one man in the back of the photo with the white shirt on is a minister, and reminded both Hubby and I of my brother Glen. This is not the first time a Korean has reminded me of Glen. Hummm..... maybe I should give Glen a call.
Hubby had a good time...
The first picture he was hanging out with some cute young girls....
In the second picture, this guy pulled him up on his stage, the audience was involved, laughing and cheering, then the guy took a picture of Hubby, out of the camera came a picture of a black heart. Everyone LAUGHED, we had no idea what had just happened.
Some random pictures of us having fun.....
Check out how high off the ground this guy is.....
Time to head home.....check out the curtains on the bus!
