Day 176: We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Here in Korea, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving but nonetheless we taught the kids about the holiday on a field trip to Outback Steakhouse. Random we know, especially since we had a four hours to spend there! The kids were crazy excited to go, and we thought we'd show you how it went...
When we arrived there, the kids had to sit and wait patiently while the staff got ready for a bit...
After what felt like FOREVER..it was time for the Outback tour! Now we know what your thinking, it's just a restaurant..what would they show them on a tour? Well, first they walked around and showed them the paintings on the wall, and then actually talked to them about the air ducts, and taught them about boomerangs and kangaroos...but nothing at all about Thanksgiving. Then of course, since we still had 30 minutes to tour (according to the schedule) they proceeded to take the kids through the kitchen. They showed them the ice machine, the dishes, and then they took them inside of the freezer! Here's Louis who was extremely satisfied with the tour, it doesn't take much to make these kids happy...After the tour, they sat them down to have some drinks, while they waited for their steaks...When we had all finished our steaks and ribs, they brought out the turkey.... The kids were pretty excited to get to try turkey, and the trip ended up being a success! Shortly after, we headed back to school to make some hand turkeys, gobble gobble... The kids are so cute on field trips when they are in their jackets and boots, they look so grown up...


So that was our Thanksgiving, a little chaotic but a lot of fun! We are just relaxing this weekend and taking it easy. Less than a month until we are in Thailand, we are so happy about that :) We miss you all and hope you have a great weekend!

With love from South Korea,
