Yeonginsan

An outing to Yeonginsan, the mountain near the town of Yeongin about half an hour from here. Erika took me there in March when all was brown from the winter. Now it is lush and green. We enjoyed the gardens.

This time we hiked along the road since it was less steep and we were managing a three-year-old. Lots of switchbacks with mirrors to help you see approaching vehicles, mostly school buses with gangs of kids Simeon's age.

He enjoyed the sculptures that were also drinking stations. We refrained from using the communal dippers. When Simeon saw this picture, he immediately informed me that there were ants.

We took a trail to one of the peaks. Simeon is quite a trooper. He walked most of the way, except when he had trouble listening to the command 'stop!' and had to ride for a while. (We were on the edge of a cliff.) At the top was this monument. 

All info was in Korean so we have no idea what the monument was, but there were some fun sculptures at one end.

And great views between that peak and Yeonginsan itself. (Hmm. Looks like this was the steep part when Simeon needed help listening)

And we did make the top!

Where it started to rain. But it was a fun day.

Simeon's nap consisted of 45 minutes in the car. He needed extra attention in the evening when we all played dinosaurs and made this video of a favorite from VBS.
