Seoul Grand Park Zoo

During Christmas break we took a trip to the Seoul Grand Park Zoo. We even took Ol' Blue (our van). We usually take the subway, but we followed our friends the Yi's, which is much easier than having to read the signs in Hangul ourselves. This is the 1st trip to the zoo that Garrett noticed the animals and even made sounds for them. He mostly knows Ruff for a dog, Moo for a cow and Grr for a bear, dinosaur, lion, etc. Here are Joe and Garrett "mooing" at the giraffes. What does a giraffe say anyway?Mama and baby giraffe - I just missed the nursing shot. So cute!

Alex Yi (with his new camera) and Jessica watching the Mountain Goats.

The Seal and Dolphin Show - We loved the show because it was inside and we could eat our lunch in the warmth.
Next to the reptiles and insects the elephant slide was a favorite for the kids. It was much faster than the alligator slide and you could climb with ropes up the side. Joe and Garrett are at the top. Carson is by the left tusk. Zane Miagany is climbing the ropes. Jessica just finished the slide and Alex is getting ready to go back up.Here's Jessica on the alligator slide. This was fun until they found the elephant slide. I even went down the alligator slide and had to push myself along. Seoul Grand Park Zoo was a terrific way to spend a cold winter day!
