Lotte World and More!!

Hi everyone!! We had a great day today, it was filled with many first events for Maiah Nandin and us. We started the day by introducing her to Dunkin Donuts Munchkins:) They got the thumbs up!! Then off to riding escalators to get to the subway here in Korea. We are not sure which she enjoyed riding more. We included several photos of her first events today, check them out. We also taught her how to dip her french fry in ketchup, it was so cute and she loves it. She actually dips the same fry 10 times. You got to love a double dipper X 5!! We took the subway half way across town to Lotte World, its the Korean version of Disney World. Maiah was able to ride a few rides for the first time, she loved the bumper cars best!! We also had to deal with what happens when Nate and Kate go on a "big" ride and Maiah has to wait!! This was not fun for me the first time but by the third time she was sitting patiently waiting for them. Oh, did I mention that she had a lollipop in one hand and a ice cream cone in the other......hahha. I am not kidding. We also found out that she will not use a public restroom, (Mom, she is your grand daughter). We were stressed out all day running her in and out of the bathroom because we just knew that she was going to have an accident but the little bugger waited until we got back to the hotel after 5pm, we left at 1100 in the morning. This was a lesson learned for us. Well, we are off to bed, tomorrow is Embassy Day. We pray all goes smoothly and we get the necessary stuff completed so we can be on our way home. We hope you enjoy the photos of the Firsts!! Love you all, Stacy

Well Grampy & I need to book a trip to Disney World with our new granddaughter. I bet Maiah will like "It's A Small World".... unlike the other members of our family! :)

Kayt, It was great to talk with you this morning/last night . . .even though you hung up on me! I love you and miss you. Tell Nate the great I said Hi and make sure that you squeeze in a kiss from me to Maiah.

It's weird that I talked with you this morning, my time, as you all were preparing for bed. And now as I prepare for bed, you all are in the middle of your day! Hopefully all went well this morning for you guys. Can't wait to hear about it . . .

Miss you all,
Joanna
