Yeouido Park 여의도 공원 End of Spring

Subhanallah. ..it's amazing.

The flowers were greeting us with of all their charms. Eyra and Freya couldn't be more happier.

The white flowered trees.

And....the video I took....

Bumped into King Sejong in statue.

Yeouido Park (the last part)

Sunday, April 6, 2014.

We returned the rented bikes and off we went to the other side of the park..walking. It's almost lunch time...the only place we knew was..IFC Mall.. adjacent to the park. But..let's make some more pics...

^0^ 

^-^ 

Just when we're ready to go to have some lunch...the kids spotted a playground...and there they were! 

Oh, well. I thought that they're starving enough and that they'd stop playing... 

But, I was wrong...

They ended up playing around for another 30 minutes... 

As for me. Okay...I did have some moment with the natural surrounding again.

It was indeed a nice shocking view that in the 2nd day of Spring...the park had turned into this lush green. 

Come on..Lunch time's calling. 

Spring @ Yeouido Park & Hangang Park (part 3)

Sunday, April 6, 2014. 

People picnicking on the lawn stretching along the Han Riverbank. 

Photo-time. Finally, I AM in the picture. 

Kites flying. Seoul Tower beyoooond. Blue sky. Seemingly blue river. People taking pictures. people jogging, people jaywalking. ... 

After almost an hour spending time at the riverbank, we proceeded our weekend outing to the park, again. Likewise, we saw lots of people sitting on the lawn in the center of the park.  

A Great View of the Park that I would surely want to cherish. 

What a day! 

This was the only cherry blossom we could find on the spot. No wonder..it was quite an attraction. 

Happy Birthday, Eyra. *I know...I know...(but as I am writing it down..you're having your B'day). 

Mom & her daughter. *Sharing Happiness* 

Spring @ Yeouido Park& Hangang Park (part 2)

Sunday, April 6, 2014. 

The man-made creek overflowing into the Han river is one of the must-see facilities around Hangang Park @ Yeouido. 

With never-stop-changing business district as its background, this facility is a famous spot for blue & white-collar workers as well as commoners, including visitors visiting the Manhattan of Seoul--Yeouido, be it in Spring or in Summer--which comes sooner.^^ 

The freshly inviting clear water seemed to lure tired feet to plunge into it. 

and why NOT? 

As for the kids, they preferred to keep on cycling their bikes along the riverbank. Gosh..I couldn't stop admiring the BLUE sky above. What a day! 

Far beyond, with zoomed in feature, we could see some people indeed were coming closer to the river to check what it must've felt like being there with the rather-cold wind so strong--at that time--that I myself wouldn't dare being there, especially with the kids tagging along. 

What about taking some picnic on spread-out lawn that stretches along the riverbank? 

Why not? Lots of people DID! 

Hangang with its numerous bridges over it ...is a perfect blend of nature and technology that captures the essence of Seoul: Seoul would be No-SOUL without it. 

An arched-building beyond is a riverbank outdoor stage where weekly performances are held--so I learned. Though never watched or been there myself. 

Take a pose... 

and...Have a great day, kids. I am sure you did enjoy your weekend at the park.

*Remember this moment as you are growing.*

That's why I am always writing down all of the activities we do together.

It's part of our diary.

Spring @ Yeouido Park & Yeouido Hangang Park (part 1)

Sunday, April 6, 2014. What could be a better way to spend a weekend economically? Go to the nearest park and enjoy the rest of the day..especially in Spring time like this ( at least a few weeks ago!) 

We promised the kids to take them to the park and let them roam the park on rented bicycles--which turned out to be quite a rare treat that time--considering the crowds and the fame of the park during spring time. 

Luckily, we managed to rent three bikes enough for us to go around the park and enjoy the blissful moment of Spring time. 

People thronged the park in groups or couples..which pretty much summed up what people were actually doing to taste the buds of spring. 

Off we went through the tunnel connecting the park and Han River park. 

Da..da....and as I expected...lots of people were making the best of their time in one Saturday morning. It's unbelievably impressive...^^I mean, we could just the whole day being there and being thankful for the blessing we had to enjoy such a nice day.

Just look at the SKY! 

Hangang Riverbank Park was truly a remarkable place to be...when it's not hot:), of course.  

Eyra finally could let herself roam freely on her 'dream' bike:) 

As for Freya, she became somewhat attached to her newly found yellow four-wheeled bike^^
