Today's craft is brought to us by enchanted learning. Elanor and I made an aquarium.

TaDa...an aquarium

I wanted us to make an aquarium so I could post about our recent trip to the COEX Aquarium in Seoul. We (mostly Andrew since he is the driver) were adventurous and drove to Seoul to the COEX Mall where there is a pretty awesome aquarium along with a lot of other things. This place was huge and parking is interesting to say the least. We had a little late start so we arrived around lunch time; first stop was lunch. Andrew found a Korean restaurant that had something Sophie said she would eat.

Sophie eating rice with chopsticks. This is fried pork chop with rice, corn and cabbage salad. She ate around the brown sauce on the chop:).

This picture cracks me up. Look at that grin.

Our lunch ended up being 2 of the fried pork, mandu (korean dumplings) and kimchi fried rice which is becoming one of my favorite dishes.

After lunch we headed into the aquarium. It was a lot of fun.

we saw lots of sharks

Our favorite was the manatee. It was fun watching them eat and move around.
