Pink Grass, Donuts, and Festivals

South Korea has a lot of real cool photo seasons and one

is the pink grass. We needed some new photos of the kids,

so I booked a mini shoot with a photographer. 

We also took some pictures with our phone and had

some fun in the pink grass.

We had to meet the photographer at 7:30am, so the place was not 

that busy. It was almost set up like a little maze that had areas to do photos. 

I think we got some cool photos ourselves. 

I could have spent hours taking pictures of the pink grass 

and a hazy sky that we had that morning. 

 After we got done we headed home with

a plan to head to the Villa to get some donuts 

from a coffee shop that I visit. I have never had the donuts, but every time I get

coffee people are always buying the donuts and it seems to be very popular. 

You will also start to notice a pattern here.

On the way home one child got notice that his Texas friends

were all online a gaming, so he was no longer in the mood

 for donuts. 

Now the 4 of us walked out to the Villa to get donuts,

 but we were a little early, so we had to hang out

and wait for it to open.

We ordered a variety of different donuts and we all got some drinks.

The family loved the drinks, but the donuts were not a hit.

The search for good donuts continues. 

We headed back to the house for while before we headed out

to the Korean American One Heart Festival. 

Before we could even get out of the house the "bat phone" rang and 

someone was headed back into work.

Mr. Man was still playing video games with his friends in the states and this one:

Was using me for transpiration to the festival, so she could 

meet up with her boyfriend.

As you can see our party of 5 turned into a party of 2

Durning the Korean American One Heart Festival the town outside the gate shuts down

one if its main roads and vendors line the streets. The base turns one of its gates into a large walk-in gate so you can move between on-base and off-base with ease.

We spent most of our time exploring the off base options.

Claw games are very popular in that area and when you are only one who didn't 

ditch Mom, you get to play a few times.

Unfortunately our skills need some work, because we walked away empty handed.

Candy fruit is another popular food item here, but it was way too sweet for this guy.

He really just wanted the strawberries without the sugar.

We played lots of games and won many prizes. 

We stopped for a little snack!

The streets were lined with food and game booths, locally made items, community

information and popular trinket items.

This ride cost me a little under $4, but it went on for over

7 minutes. Every time I thought it was

going to be over it was kicked up another notch.

Most rides like this in the states last a minute or two. 

We walked around a little more, tried a few more things, played more 

games, but my hands got too full to continue to take photos. 

We had a lot fun before we decided to call it a day and head home.
