Happy Fall And Happy Chuseok!!!!!

Ah, fall in the US is filled with beautiful colors, a chill in the air, pumkins, apples, and nights beginning just alittle sooner!!! Jae-min had a great time enjoying some fall activities.....
"So, you want me to find the perfect pumpkin among ALL these?""Ok, I'll do my best"!!!
"Yay, the best apples are on the tops of the trees. Hoist me up Daddy!!!"

"I think this one looks perfect!!!"


"Another great find"
Apple picking and pumpking finding sure were fun, but the best part of the day for Jae-min was investigating all of the farm equipment.
Tractors, diggers, wagon, scoops, oh my!!!
In Korea fall is celebrated this week with a holiday called Chuseok. It's very similar to our Thanksgiving. Korean families travel and gather together. They share a feast of food, mainly rice cakes. They honor their ancestors and the children dress in their hanboks and play games. It's a wonderful time and is also known as the Harvest Moon celebration .
We celebrated last night by making some Korean food and trying a new recipe for Haddeok. Yum yum yum we all loved it. We plan to celebrate this weekend as well.
So....Happy Fall and Happy Chuseok to all.
