A few Sundays ago, we decided to walk to Expo Park here in Daejeon. It is a nice walk, not too long, but definitely a walk. On our way there we saw this really strange thing. This is on the top of a restaurant. I just thought it would be interesting to share. We have no idea what the meaning is, or even how it goes along with the restaurant, but it's there.
Here is a view from the other side. You can see the restaurant building in this shot.
Here is Peyton at Expo park. A nice man came up to him in this section of the park where there are a bunch of different small animals to look at and put this parakeet on his hand. He did it to Grace first, and she kind of freaked out. She got so scared that she squeezed the poor little bird's toes. The bird then got a little scared and was trying to bite her in order to get her to let go. That only made her squeeze harder and squeal at the same time. Eventually I pried her fingers open so the bird could get out. This was a very good-natured little bird, because it was perfectly happy to go to Peyton after that traumatic time with Grace.
We went into this dinosaur exhibit. They had these big models of dinosaurs all the way through. They moved and made sounds. The first one we went past that started to move was almost too much for Peyton. You could see the color drain out of his face, and I thought that Shane might have to pick him up off the ground. We kept trying to talk him through it, but he really had a tough time. In one part of the exhibit we went into this dark building and it was made to look like a rainforest. There were smaller moving dinosaurs and they also made noise. The kids both had to be carried into this part. Eventually we got them to relax a little, but not fully. Shane and I both were pretty entertained by this. They were pretty funny. It took alot of coaxing to get Peyton to stand in front of these dinos, even with Shane standing behind him. These one's moved and he was afraid that it would eat them.
There was no coaxing Grace for this photo, I had to just pick her up and take her over there for this shot. She was not happy with me at all!
This is shortly after Peyton saw the very first moving dinosaur in the exhibit. He looks awfully pale. :) But he did put on a smile for the photo.
This is at the entrance to the park. Most of the exhibits were closed down, but it was interesting to walk around and look at things. One nice thing was that there weren't alot of people to have to get around. It was pretty dead.
