During our last day when we were staying at the adoption agency and volunteered one last time on the baby floor, we met a really nice Korean-American woman that volunteers weekly. She lives with her husband and two kids on the U.S. military base in Seoul where they have been stationed for the past 1.5 yrs. She was adopted as a baby from Korea and grew up the States so being stationed here was her first time back to Korea since she was born here. This is why she likes to volunteer regularly at the agency that she was adopted from.
We exchanged emails after she generously offered to invite us on base because she thought Auden would like a little "taste" of America in Korea since they are all English speaking, have lots of American foods in the shop on base and a great playground and bowling. So we took her up on her offer yesterday and had a great experience and afternoon with her and her family. Auden loved the playground SO much because it had a rocket ship and we had to bribe him off of it with ice cream because he was a sweaty mess after an hour. After some ice cream we went bowling with her, her husband and 8 year old son. Her son was so great with helping Auden and they actually played two rounds together, the longest Auden has ever lasted with bowling:-) Cody got to go to the bike shop on post because her husband was buying a new bike that day as he recently has taken up road biking, so that was right up Cody's alley, ha. I had a great time talking to my new friend, it's always great to hear the perspectives of adult adoptees so we can understand what Grant's feelings may be some day.
Here are a few pictures of our fun afternoon.
