Seoul Zoo

So after a month of talk, we finally made it to the zoo! Dave and I both happened to wake up really early on Friday (6:30 a.m., sometimes since Dave doesn't work until the afternoon we just snooze until 9:00 a.m.) and so spur of the moment I suggested we go to the Zoo (usually between sleeping until 9:00 a.m., Dave working at 3:00 p.m., and the Zoo being an hour away we just wouldn't have time, but with an early start I knew we could make it) and an hour later we were on our way! We knew we wouldn't be able to see everything in 4 hours so we just enjoyed what we could and vowed to come back in the spring when Lucy would enjoy it even more.

Unfortunately, the pictures just don't do the fun day justice. They are okay, but really the video did a much better job capturing the experience because the best part of the day was watching Lucy make animal noises and point with fascination saying "wow" or "ohhhhhh" or "oo oo oo" with the monkeys. I have been experiencing serious difficulties trying to upload videos, so you will have to wait until you visit us to see the great footage (which may be never for most of you). I am able to upload videos from my picture camera, but from the video camera it seems like too big a file or something. Oh well, I suppose watching our child point with wonder and excitement was probably a lot more fun for me and Dave than it would be for any of you anyway(well, maybe not the grandparents...sorry guys! Just come to Korea and see Lucy already!) I guess the pictures are still worth looking at:

The Korean Version of "The Wizard of Oz"...


Pretty little moments in the Flowers...



Don't you just want to snuggle up with one of these cuddly looking bears...

Lucy's first tunnel slide. Looks cute, huh? but at the top the rest of the Elephant was just bones. I found that funny.
The Elephants...
The Zebras...What a cute Dad, all wearing animal ears and everything...
We got these ears (zebra and giraffe) from cereal boxes so naturally I was obsessing over taking pictures at the Zoo with them.

Botanical Gardens...

Giraffes...
Rhinos...
And, of course, my two favorite animals (Daviraffe and Lucypotomus), who I can never take enough pictures of...

Thanks for Visiting!
