Claire catches a ride going up Namsan. She also hiked a good portion of the way. This was at the top by the Tower. Claire was asleep by this point. I thought the little "soccer balls" with tufts of grass that are behind me were pretty funny.
Views of Seoul. I had to get a picture of the kimchi pots on the roof. And you've got to love the air quality! You can see the smog in the last two pictures, especially.
Claire discovered the kitchen. One side was modern and the other was a traditional kitchen from the "olden days." I didn't think I would ever get Claire out of there. She would have played there all day if she could! Eventually, I convinced her there were others things she might enjoy as well. While she ran back and forth in the kitchen, emptying plastic food from one container to another, someone asked if she was 3. This was about a week before her 2nd birthday! It was an American asking so, no, they weren't referring to her Korean age.
Maeve tries her hands at another drum.
As much as Claire enjoyed the kitchen, Maeve really liked trying to grind grain. I don't know why she liked it so much, but we had a hard time dragging her away!
Claire made an attempt at playing a traditional musical instrument.
This was too funny. There were a pair of these stone elephants on either side of a bench. Claire kept running back and forth between them, kissing them. Check out those lips!

Claire spent a lot of time dancing at this park. She would stand under speakers and dance and dance. I wish I knew how to upload a short video of it to share! It was hard to pull her away to move on to the next exhibit (although there were speakers everywhere). Then when she saw the 7 Dwarfs displayed... well, weren't they the perfect size for dancing with!
These are pictures of the girls and their "fan clubs." It was difficult for them to go far without schoolgirls (usually, but as you can see, boys got in the act, too) asking to take their pictures or wanting to pose with them. Claire took this in stride. After all, everyone is supposed to be in her fan club. Maeve, on the other hand, wasn't too thrilled with the attention.
