Korean Visitors

On May 15, Harmony's sister and Brother in law came in from Korea. They came to celebrate Harmony's and his 60th birthdays. In Korea, the 60th Birthday is a huge deal, like 100 in America. In Korean, Uncle is Emobu, and Aunt is Emo. They have never been anywhere like America, and they don't speak ANY English. Ok, that's not true, they can say "Hi, same, Thank You". Anyway, they are the sweetest, neatest people. Mike knows them pretty well, and Lucy and I have met them once, in Korea when Lucy was 1, so we are so excited to see them again. It is easy to see where Harmony gets her enthusiasm and energy, it must run in the family. They are loving the new experiences and always game to try new things. Here are some of the fun moments:

Meeting Archie at Harmony's house.

Habi is the master baby-burper. It looks pretty cute too.

First trampoline experience. They stayed on and jumped and sang for about a half an hour.

This is Emo doing the actions to a Korean folk song, Santoki.

My sister-in-law, Kristine posted the words on her blog, and I borrowed them from her. Thanks Kristine! Here they are:

Mountain bunny, bunny

Over the mountain peaks, peaks
I will climb them on my own
Plump, plump chestnuts
I will find and bring

They brought the kids Korean pajamas. They are so cute, and the kids have worn them every night that I'll let them!
They leave June 15, and they have a full schedule until then. They are on their way to Vegas tomorrow, and the Grand Canyon next week. We don't get to go with them, but I know they'll have a great time. Maybe next year we can go visit them in Korea!! Ahhhh, a girl can dream.
