Freya's Birthday (Again), but ...

Yes....but...this time...the celebration is with their Eonni, Subin Eonni. 

Subin eonni had made a promise to her that she would come today and brought her an ice cream cake! So, here they were....celebrating Freya's 7th birthday again..^^ 

Just by looking at her looks, I could see that Freya did enjoy (another) round of birthday. Well,  oh well....you must've been lucky to have lots of people...doing it for you, Freya.

What would a cake (though it's actually ice cream)...be without candles to blow? 

So...My Mother is An Alien + Blueberry + Chocolate Fuzz + Vanilla + Tiramisu flavored icecream were mixed neatly into a cake.

What a treat.

Thank you, Subin eonni for coming and giving us another fun to dig for. 

* Oh...just when I thought that it's done...

Freya and Eyra's eonni promised to take them to cat's cafe @ Myeongdong. ^:^

Eyra & Yang Su-bin Eonni @ Lotte World

Today (January 27, 2013) was another worth-remembering day for Eyra and her Eonni, Yang Su-bin, for both of them spent the whole fun day at Lotte World.

As usual, like most of any other Saturdays, they spend time together as part of cultural immersion program. Today, Yan Su-bin eonnie took Eyra to Lotte World. It's Eyra's first visit ever.

First, they took a picture with Lorry and Lotty. 

The parade started in the afternoon. Wait...how could I came up to know all this stuff if I was not even there to start with? ^^ 

Well, thanks to Kakao Talk, Yang Su-bin sent us pictures as their trip was going on. So, practically we could see what they were enjoying down there.

I do not know what she was doing but I am sure that she did have a great time there. Wait..it looked like she was thinking of what to eat of what to drink..... Was it during lunch time? I am pretty much sure. And..wait...it says " 2013 Good Luck Cocktail?"

then...as with other activities wherever they went to, I always found that Eyra loved to see animals be it the real ones or just plush toys or character designs like the one she rode on today.

Then, came the Carousel time. I think they took a ride on this Carousel just when they entered the Lotte World area. They seemed to enjoy their time together.

The self-camera portrait of their adventure at Lotte World as it happened. 

This is just before she entered into the Lotte area while waiting for the ticket? She was still wrapped in the double winter jackets. Well, today's weather was minus 10 Celsius. But, the good thing was that...they were doing all of the fun in the indoor amusement park.

And...what was she doing this time? Looks like she was shooting the ball or something? 

Can't make out of what it was.  

Thanks to Yang Su-bin eonni, today Eyra finally made it to Lotte World. It is the last week of Eyra's winter vacation, so they decided to go outside instead of just having an indoor activities back home or at the library. Well, I guess..the Saturday's cultural immersion with Yang Su-bin eonni is a great chance for Eyra to get involved in a more varied program during her life in Korea. 

Eyra on Ice Skating @ City Hall

 What could be a perfect way to spend a very cold winter? As for Eyra: it's skating time.It was not her first time since at school she has a special program designed for all students.
So, this weekend she was so happy to hear that her Eonni Su-bin took her to city hall where an outdoor-skating-ring was flung open for public for just a mere 1,000 Won /an hour.
That's the best way to spend an afternoon at a not-that-cold (compared to previous days) Saturdays.

She went there at 10.30 am. She's ready since morning.
The excitement was there though I could see that she was a bit trembling ...judged from the look on her face^^

She could manage the whole one-hour ride, though.

Then, a cup of beverage would be just a good companion to start the adventure spent at the ice skating ring. One thing that I remembered from her story.....was that at first she found it hard to find the perfect skating shoes for here. But...fortunately, she managed to get a pair of perfect size shoes just for her. She did have a great time.

This is Yang Su-bin and Eyra. Yang Su-bin meets Eyra once a week for cultural activities. She is a student of French Department, HUFS. She's a volunteer for foreign national families and multicultural families residing in Korea--in the sense that she dedicates her time to take the children of foreign nationals residing in Korea to hang out more with Korean friends and get exposed to Korean culture and any other social activities.
