Subway trip to COEX Aquarium

A 90-minute subway ride begins with happy faces.
Sophie warily checks out a corn cake snack at a train stop.
Daphne dives right in. It was a long ride with 3 bustling transfers and the little troopers hung in there despite having their faces stroked by every elderly lady within reaching distance and being given candy twice (once from a group of giggling teen girls and once from a shop keeper who offered his with the words "happy and strong"-oh the trials of being cute).
The Aquarium started off with a strange exhibit we called "look at the weird things we put fish in." A fish shaped sink, for example.
Or how about a lego-filled aquarium or a television?
There was also a phone booth, a vending machine, a refrigerator and a front-loading washing machine. Odd that this was the one that made Daphne say "that's crazy to put fish in here!"
Manatees and two little girls, so far from home.
The tunnel was so popular with Sophie that she went through it twice.
Every happy day ends with ice cream & donuts, right? Oh, and mommy & daddy decided to take the bus home. We were one tired family.

Snow Day

Their little dreams came true, we got a tiny bit of snow here on the 23rd/24th of March. It was just enough to stick for half a day.
On a day this wonderful, you might even hug your sister without trying to put her in a choke hold.
Many snow angels were made.

We went from playground to playground and Daphne finally agreed to help make a snowman.
Sophie got the ball rolling...
Daphne actually got excited about helping once she saw how it worked.
Look at that big girl with the snowball.

Incheon Airport

Pushin' the cat cart. I'm sure Jasper and Alice appreciated us letting Sophie push them through the airport.
Yes, it is colder here in Korea than it was in California.
