Standard issue

Gas masks.  Who knew?!  We stashed the boxes with our 72 hour kits.

Our Household Goods!

Finally the rest of our belongings have arrived (minus the car).  I am so excited to have our "stuff".  Only a few things broken, including the only shelving unit I brought).  Now for the unpacking and organizing.  Maybe our house will start feeling like a home.

Unloading our three cartons.  Not much since we brought all 6 beds (a good choice).

End of Summer Bash

What do you do with one hundred or so kids in close quarters to end the summer? Water Balloon Party! One our residents put this party together. Everyone had to bring water balloons and a package of Popsicles to participate. The kids had a blast.


Our collection of green water balloons.

The chaos.  It was great fun.

Han River

It is actually the Hangang River, but everyone calls it "The Han".  We love living close to it.  It has a great walking path and bike trail that runs all the way to the ocean.  We have walked it (near our house).  We have ridden our bikes on the trail.  It has been really fun.

Crossing the Bampo Bridge, lower level is mainly for pedestrians and bikes.

Jakob and the Han.

Looking back on the Han towards our house.

Playin' in the Rain

What do you do when it is 90+ degrees outside and raining buckets?  You play of course!
The boys have had a blast playing in the rain at the park in the back yard.  They put on their swimming suits and had a hay day.  It is a great way to expend energy and cool off!

Post Run

There is a shuttle bus that runs the base, transporting families and soldiers to various locations on base.  With the one car rule, there are many people who have need of the "Post Run".  We have used it many times to get to the library, hospital, shopping, mail box, school and home.  The boys love it.

Relaxing on the bus.

Mail Box

Checking the mail at our APO box.

We got lucky.  We have a mailbox for our mail.  Some folks just have to pick up their mail at the front desk of their office.  We have a box, and the boys have fun checking for mail. It is also a chance for us to get out of the house.
