I have to say that celebrating the 4th of July in a foreign country is a bit strange. It is very odd to know that it's the 4th, but not see any evidence of it. Camp Casey did have a big celebration on post and we enjoyed an AMAZING fireworks show, but first we did do a very traditional thing..... SWIMMING (and we even got to hang out with some friends).
ok guys, let's jump in together
Darci....what HAPPENED?
let's try this again!.
she just wanted the camera all to herself!

4th of July Celebration

Mitchell wanted to give this one a try
he won too and gave it to me...☺
not so sure who he is supposed to be
but we took pics anyway!
yet another classic... clowns making balloon animals
fireworks finale!
The Bodilys and the Goliczs
On Friday, Dave and I took the kids down to Osan Air Force Base for the weekend. Osan is about an hour south of Seoul and the main base where everyone in the military enters the country. We had a great time. Just outside of the main gate is a shopping district that really caters to Americans and actually takes dollars. Some of the shop names are very unique, as you will see. I went into one of the purse shops and the owner wanted to show me some of his special deals. He actually locked the door on the shop and took me to the basement to a secret room to show me all of the name brand purses. It was a quite SCARY! While in Osan, we also went bowling because it was SOOOO hot, and I took the kids to see Madagascar 3 while Dave attended a Warrant Officer event at the base. The first night we were there, we stayed in the lodge on post. However, due to a mix up with reservations, we ended up staying in a Korean hotel the second night, which was quite interesting. Anyway, that's enough talk......on to the pics......
entrance to the Ville
walking in the Ville
I feel like the sign is missing something
he had some very nice guitars
not so sure how to take this one
the sign actually says....Grown Man Style
what if I only want 1 chicken?
Mitchell wanted to go here
I didn't realize they made model bikes
the club scene looks scary
wonder what kind of food they serve here!?!?!?
I don't think everyone knows your name here
what's with the teddy bears
not just one, but......
DOS Mexican restaurants!
I's didn't go in!
I think I'll send this one to Ellen!
I wonder if they have Easter specials
wonder what people are doing here!
straight and to the point
Kitty GoGo Shoes
I didn't see Snoopy anywhere
McDonald's Menu....what's missing?
Darci caught the mistake...can you?
McDonald's delivers....but....
I'm not so sure Big Mac is the one I'm looking for
well I guess its one roomy club
selling pets on the street....just like the states!
After all of those pics, we had to take a break indoors so we took a ride around the base and went to the bowling alley.
I thought the Dragon Lady truck was funny
I guess spelling isn't just an issue with the Army
I hear MiG and I automatically think TOP GUN
can you say STRIKE!
air hockey
Mitchell scores!
Our Korean hotel......
hhhmmmmmmm
HARD beds, but at least we had a place to stay
chandeliers are very popular here
here's hoping we don't have an emergency
not sure what the deal is with this lamp
had to climb Mt. Everest to get into the tub
but it was worth it for the 7 headed shower
one MAJOR drawback....anyone entering the room
can see the person taking a shower
the kids didn't want to wake us up so
they read behind the curtain
yep, that's right...a PINK tow truck
Royal Hair Bi's ....????
getting the oil "changEE"....this is a typical mechanic shop
a bedding store .... at first glance I thought it said Nimpho
a dummy with a robotic arm....cautioning construction ahead
choo choo train crossing
ad on side of bus ....guess what they were advertising!
probably not what you think
it looks like a rat
headed to the toll gate
Well that about wraps it up for week 18 in Korea. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead and we will see you soon. Oh and before I forget.... in case you didn't see it... the McDonald's menu was missing a number 4 combo, I hope the Navy and Marines have their DEFENSE ready, and you can "Feel the Climax" at one of Korea's water parks!
Until next week....Annyeonghi Geyseyo!
