lucky larsons lost in korea: Yeerah!!

Saturday Jan. 25th Yeerah and her brother, sister, and dad, all came down and visited us for a few hours. We met at Home Plus and walked to a restaurant that I really liked, only to find it closed!

We walked further down the road to another place we had eaten and really liked. On the way Yeerahs dad almost got hit by a car that was backing out. She drove around the block and came back to apologize to him. Even Yeerah's family said that the drivers in Suncheon were kind of wild. I don't know Yeerahs dad or brothers name. Her sisters name is Ara. Yeerah sounds like E-rah and her name sounds like like Ah-rah. There mom was ill and couldn't come.

Her dad is a really fun and friendly guy. He really like Wheeler and towards the end he was pushing Wheeler in the stroller saying (in Korea to the other Koreans) "I'm a big boy, look at what a big boy I am!"

I really liked him. a

Our first attempt at a group picture---the log I tried to us wasn't level--ask you can tell.

Someone volunteered to take this for us --so it is better.

We had a GREAT time visiting with them. Yeerah is off to University soon so maybe we can see her in Seoul one more time before we go home. We want her brother to come and live with us for a school year!

They taught us how to play a tradition Korean game--I totally beat Yeerah (but it is all luck, no skill needed)

You have four sticks (these are huge compared to normal imagine over-sized chopsticks) and one side is painted black. During your turn you throw them up in the air and however many land with the black side up is how many spaces you move on a game board. If all land white side up you move five spaces. First one around the board wins.
