Oh, holy crap

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!! Brooklyn flew a plane last night. NIGHT FLIGHT, what in the heck??
Yeah, the plan was to just get a ride, not actually take the controls....B's not even done with ground school!! The instructor just told her to take off, kind of talked her through it......and BAM! Perfect takeoff! Believe it or not, people....
What a rush!
K, we love y'all!!! Hopefully we'll get the camera up and going soon, for pictures flying. In the mean time, B says she's taking the video camera next time. Maybe we'll try and post some videos on here!

New, cool foods...







So, as promised...





These are some of the new foods we've been trying.





Dok bokki, is a spicy "rice cake" type food...it's not like the rice cakes you all are thinking about either, it's not sweet at all...REALLY SPICY, and really tasty. It's good!! (Dok bokki=the bottom pic, reddish color)




Dok, as we understand, means rice... So, if anything has that name in it, it's probably made with rice. Interesting...





Oh, and of course the kimbop. It's wonderful. Tuna is the best. (looks like sushi rolls-middle pic)
We also like mandu...it's so addicting. Can it be good for you??? It's steamed, so that's a start! (top pic)
More later,
B&C









Just a funny...

Just yesterday, Cole and Brooklyn got yelled at by a Korean lady for parking in a wrong spot...
Haha, the first time she came to our door-she rambled off something in Korean, of course, we didn't know what....so 5 minutes pass and she's back! Yelling La Car!! La Car!!! and doing driving hand motions, haha. We got so tickled...and figured out that B had parked her car a little too close to there outside door and they couldn't get in! Ooooops. :) At least we think that was the problem, after the car was moved noone yelled...
Just thought you would enjoy the story...

Hey







We had our first Korean skiing experience today, and well.....at least we survived.

Apparently the Koreans loooooove them some speed bumps but despise u-turns. We hit no less than 50 speed bumps driving the 80 or so miles to Oak Valley Ski Resort in eastern Korea, probably about 10-15 more than we would have if we'd made all the right turns. We missed the exit we were supposed to take and had to drive another 30 min, go through another 2 toll booths, and get awesome instructions (in korean) on how to get back to the road we wanted. I haven't figured out why they think we can understand korean yet, but they keep talking anyways. Saying "Donde esta" after they finish talking really throws them off too. Anywho, we made it to the resort and skied all afternoon. B mustered up the courage to get on the child lifts and only fell twice (once while standing perfectly still) all day...you guys would be proud. Naw, we had a blast watching other people fall, yeah we may get payed back for it later but you all know it's fun to watch someone else bite it on the snow......see you're kinda laughing to yourself right now. Here are some funny pics to help you pass the time.
