The Heat

Mom:
So what do you think about the heat and humidity?

Pepper: Oh! I don't like it. Umm...I don't like, um, its always like most nights its not cold and I just dropped my spoon, no mom! Don't write that.  I think that if it is cold then it is kind of hot or it is raining bad.  I am serious.  Holy Moley this is a big load of pancakes!

Sedona:  It gets SO hot here!  It gets hot here.  I don't know. 

Wheeler:  Asks me in Korean *where is it?* 
Mom: Any thing else?
Wheeler: Shakes his head no.


Mom:  Anything else?

Pepper:  You know what mom?
Mom: What?
Sedona: that is so funny?
Pepper:  I want to say something.
Sedona:  I said 'you know' for both yes and no.

Pepper: I know som'thin I want you to write.  All the people her recognize us and touch our hair.  They give us candy.  Even at Shipwreck park, they even gave Wheeler 5 bucks to give wheeler candy and ice cream just because he was cute.  But my dad put the money in HIS wallet instead.
    Here, guess what?  All the people recognize us and they say hello in Korean in the little kid way.  They say Aong-Yong all the time.  All the people at shipwreck part notice us too. Even some girls that were on the stage that were going to do belly dancing, it looked like, they even camed up and ...do they give, they asked us if he would be his wife...I think one time one of the girls, um, gave us, I mean Wheeler, even they asked him if they could marry him. 

Sedona: There is this one kid in my class, he looks exactly like another one in my class, but he has glasses and the other one doesn't.  But the kid with classes is like a baby.  He's like the baby of our class.  It will be like quiet and all of a sudden you will hear someone scream!  and sometimes, which is him screaming, and sometimes it will be quiet and all of a sudden you will will hear someone scream cause he is smacking another kid on the head with his notebook, on the girls head.  Does that make sense?  He is just crazy.  Like on this trading day (where the kids took little toys in to trade with each other) I was watching him and he was just walking around in the middle of the classroom with his hands in his pants!!  and when he cries (shakes head frustratedly) it is so loud! It will be quiet and then you hear a scream like 'aaarrraaahhh'!
  There is this other boy in my class who looks almost like Cameron (Sedona's cousin), but his head is a little more round.

Mom: sorry time to take a shower!
 

CHILDREN'S ART SHOW

All picture comments were made by Pepper.

Well, this is a picture I took on my camera.  I thought these lights were crazy! They look kind of funny to me for some reason. 

Wheeler:

Wheeler: Yeah, Ok.  

Mom: What did you think of it,.

Wheeler: Umm...Appple.  Awesome.

Mom: What else?

WHeeler? Ummm..awesome

Mom: Again? Awesome?

Wheeler: Yay! Awesome again.

Mom: anything else?

Wheeler: Yay.

Mom: What?

Wheeler: Umm....awesome.

This penguin picture that I took, since mom took one of us, I decided to take one of them, and mom is doing the same thing I did in her picture.  Sedona is pretending to be kind of like my mom is, well actually she is pretending like she is as short as the penguins.

This picture I thought was really cute, since the little girl is sitting in the rocking chair is really cute and stuff like that. and all the pretty flowers and stuff, but my mom, I almost took of everything, but my mom said, just take pictures of what you think is good, so I just picked a few.  

Sedona:

I think that the art show was cool.  I don't have that much to say. 

Pepper: 

I think that art show was kind of awesome, but well there was like a little tv, well actually I think it was awesome, but the TV that showed up a whole bunch of art all over again, but one thing taht was cool was the tv would show the shadow of you in it and stuff like that. 

Mom: anything else?

Pepper: If you want me ta.

Mom: Ok, go ahead

Sedona says: can you tell this is a little girl?  Um...the sunny side circles are like two little ponytails and then the redish thing by one of the sunny side circles is a bow and then the two smaller ones by the square are her legs.

Pepper: actually that is all.  Well also at the art show there were cartoon things, they were magnets and there was this board you could stick the magnets on and mom was helping me and you were able to make one move of a magnet to make it like a story and after you move that one piece of magnet move then they would take a picture, like ten pictures, and then you would do it again and over and over and over and over until it was done. 

This is what I made and this is kind of like a wall and you can walk through the middle of it.

And also at the top where the square is, that is kind of like the chimmney and the triangle on top is kind of like the top, like if it was a house. 

  

Wheeler crying from the other room

Sedona: (Sedona in other room) Well what did you think would happen?

Pepper: What did you do?  Mom can you help peel this orange, it is not turning out very well.

Wheeler comes to mom: mommy!

Sedona following him: I am sorry.

Pepper: Sedona what did you do?

Sedona: he wouldn't get out of the way so I folded the bed up on him. 

Well, This one was what I was talking about on one of the other things, and I made this, and I made this and she is jumping and she is going to jump until she is over his head, but the watering can. 

 This is what it looked like on the computer after we took a picture of it. 

Moms over view. 

Lucas made a friend with a Korea and he took us to a neighboring town to visit a children's art exhibit. 

I am pretty sure each artist was an illustrator for a children's book, and after each artist's section they would have a hands one section for the kids to explore. 

There was a 3D TV showing a short movie, a circle room with lights so it looked like your shadow was a giant walking through the scene that had been painted on the wall, one was a place you would place your worries on a sticky note and stick it to the wall.  There was a really cool place where you could make your own Stop motion cartoon, by moving magnets on a board and taking pictures of them we made cartoons--about 5 seconds of (badly done) cartoons took 5-10 minutes.  

Mom says: There was a place to put your piece of art and take a picture of it, so that you become a featured artist!  

Jeju Island

The Jeju Island trip!

Mom: Tell me about our Jeju-do trip.

Pepper: 

Well,  Jeju is a place that is an island in Korea, but on Jeju there are waterfalls, two waterfalls. One leads from rocks into the ocean.  Ouch. Wheeler!!

Well, At Jeju-do on the boat ride there we stayed there for hours on the boat and since it was down low I was at least getting a headache.  One the trip back we were on the higher floor because there was two seats.  There was one by the door where you can go outside cause, the deck, we were going 55 miles an hour, my Uncle Steve thought, but he wasn't sure, we were going 55 miles. But we, they, on the boat, they would let people go out on the deck while we were going 55 miles per hour.   

  And also, it was blowing like crazy out there.  guess what we had crackers, but two of them fell on the floor, so mom let Sedona do it first, and then me do it and we got to throw those crackers off the boat and when I let go of mine I thought it was on the boat, but I didn't see it on the ground and that was when it was windy.  And on the way back we were higher, and usually I getr higher and I usually get headaches, but since we were higher I didn't get a single headache.  What are you writing Sedona?

Sedona: This.  Mom?

Pepper: What

Sedona: mom put a period at the end of 'I don't know what to say', so you need this (points to an exclamation point she drew) at the end!

Wheeler: Tissue Please

Pepper: Yes Wheeler

Sedona: Hums happily

Pepper: sings 'be still my soul'

Pepper: in bathroom: Phew it stinks in here

mom: then spray some spray

Sedona: It smells like Jello to me

Dad: Put that on the blog!

Sedona:

Jeju-do is a cool little place. an island like Pepper said. we went with my aunt and uncle.  there is a waterfall we went to, it is called Jangbang falls (mom: I don't know how to spell that)  Just spell it like Jangbang mom!  Um we got to play in Jangbang falls.  No Wheeler, I am not a doggy.  Ok, I am talking!  and it was fun. Me and Pepper liked to find seashells. It wasn't that far from the ocean.  It would fall, have a teeny small pond and then go into the ocean. 

 So, too bad every thing we had to pay for. Um...and well...while we were at the falls my aunt Marinda, uncle Steve and my dad went to a cave, so they kinda left us, me, wheeler and pepper with mom.  And, a while later they came back and then we left to go to another hotel.  

The next day we went to another waterfall. We thought we could play in it, but it wasn't as cool as Jangbang falls, you couldn't even get that close to it.  Um, cause it was like a big lake, or river or something.  There was eels and ducks in it, so that was a little bit weird.  And there, while we were there, um...there was this big rock pile it looked like, but each stone they don't do this in....never mind...but the Korean would pray on a rock for a wish or something, and then they would set it on a rock stack or make a new one, so.

We had to take a bus to a place called Wangdo, to get a ferry to Jeju. The ferry ride here wasn't so good.  It was pretty long, but we got there alright.  We were only going to stay in Jeju for 3 days anyways.  And the trip back seemed shorter, I don't know why!  Umm....     I don't know what to say.

 this is some jeju water fountains
