I have to give a disclaimer for this post - yet again.
I had some of the worst picture taking luck all day!
The pictures are far from good, but you'll probably get the idea.
We started off the morning at a picnic in beautiful Sugar House Park with all of the students in our Korean language school. Since this was a Korean party there was good food. LOTS and LOTS of good food.
The man sitting next to Soung-Sik is the friend staying with us for the next few months. His name is Doo-Il.
After we stuffed ourselves the kids had to get some playground time in.
William LOVED the swing, but he is so small he
kept falling out of the baby swing.
Now that I look at the picture I think he's in the swing backwards.
Hey I was just doing what all the other parents were doing.
I wonder why their kids stayed in?
Here's Isabelle with one of her teachers.
Her teachers were the best! They have been so nice, patient,
and incredibly loving with Isabelle.
We are really going to miss them during the summer!
This is Isabelle and some of the other kids doing a drawing competition.
They also had hackey sack competitions, a treasure hunt, and played some Korean games called "something, something in Korean". Isabelle had an extreme amount of fun even though she didn't win any games.
William was just running around like a crazed baby without a nap.
I tried to subdue him with the sling...
Sadly he never fell asleep.
Instead he started entertaining himself by pinching me and pulling my hair.
It hurt.
He laughed.
After an hour I gave up and turned him loose again.
After the party we had to hurry,
and I mean hurry to Isabelle's choir performance.
Actually I had to dress her and do her hair in the car. This was not an easy feat, and sadly we still missed the first song. Were you aware that it takes more than 10 minutes to get from Sugar House park to 7200 S?
Here's my summary of the choir performance.
Natalie (my niece) and Isabelle were the cutest kids, if you ask me.
The choir as a whole did great.
Then came the soloists. Horrible is an understatement. It was so so bad.
Someone such as their parents or the choir director should have let them know this.
I realize it's mean to say things like that,
but I think it's meaner to let them go do that in front of 100 people.
As a side note I am ridiculously glad choir practices are over.
By this point in the day William couldn't resist sleep any longer.
You know he's tired when he falls asleep without finishing a sucker!
Congratulatory ice cream was in order.
We wrapped up our busy day by torturing William...again.
All in all it was a very fun and very memorable day.
I hope the memories last longer than the sunburns!
