2013 Army Signal Corps Regimental Ball

This years Signal Ball was at the Grand Hyatt in Seoul Korea. Jeremy and I pawned the kids off to different friends and stayed over night . What a fun evening with the love of my life. 
Beautiful fountain outside the Hyatt.
Jer and I  in front of the water fountain.
All dressed up and ready for the ball.
Front of the program.
Back of the program.
I love this Ice Sculpture.  So cool!
This was a pretty awesome Ice sculpture as well.
Our Entertainment was really cool.  I've never been to a Signal ball with  Entertainment like this.  Usually they will have a band.  But this year we got some pretty awesome Entertainment.  These drums were amazing.  So much fun to have all the Korean Culture.

 
Korean Military Drill Team.  They were fabulous. 
Here is our Band,  They were a lot of fun and don't you just love the waterfall back ground.  
 
This is one of my favorite pictures of the night.
Our gifts.  What a cool coin.
Jer loved the pen.  Very nice.

Our Table
I had to take a close up of this Orchid.  It reminds me of my Grandma Carman.  She loved Orchids and this one was just beautiful.
The food at the Hyatt was so delicious.  This was the Tuna Nicoise Salad.  No I did not eat the Tuna.  But everything else was yummy!  Jer like the Tuna :-)

 Shitake Mushroom Soup Yummy!!!

Oven baked Tenderloin of Beff, Semi dried tomatos and parmesan crust, thyme sauteed Green beans, mashed potatoes. 



Golden fried chicken and mozzarella cordon blue with lemon, mashed potatoes and water cress.
For dessert Pineapple almond tart, chocolate sauce, creme caramel Ice cream.
Lovi, Tina, Heather, and Ade

I love this man.

Tina and Ade

At the end of the evening.  I took a picture but I'm not sure what happened?  I won an Ipad mini., Right?   I can't believe it.  I've never been to a signal ball that had door prizes and to win an Ipad mini was pretty cool.  Jer and I really had a wonderful weekend.  It was fun getting all dressed up and enjoying an evening  with my Soldier.

Admiral Yi's

My Korean Students told me of a wonderful place in Asan, It's a Memorial for Admiral Yi.  Admiral Yi is a war Hero.  He helped stop the Japanese from invading South Korea.
This is the first building into the Shrine.
We had a fun picnic with the Isom's.  
Sara,Aaron and Audrey Isom
Kayden is kicking daddy's bum.
Daddy teaching everyone how to Indian Wrestle.  Who do you think is winning?
Aaron taught the boys a new way to do pushups.  Down 1/4 Down half way down 3/4 down all the way.  Up 1/4 up half way up 3/4 up all the way.  They all did had a great work out.  Look at that line.  Good job!
Chandler giving Audrey a ride.  I love his face.  He is working so hard.
Audrey giving me a Big kiss!!!
My cute kiddos!
Look at all the detail in the art work.  AMAZING!
Another shrine.
How beautiful!  The whole park was like this.  AWESOME.
I love these flowers.  So beautiful.  PS I love my Man.
Here is the main Shrine
The kids in front of the shrine.
There he is Admiral Yi.
I'm not sure what this symbolizes.  Another issue with being in a foreign country,  I can't read the language.  But I'm sure it's something really cool. 
Me and my Girl
The kids got to take a lesson in Archery.  Brooklyn said it hurt her finger.
I think this was Kayden's favorite part. 

Even Chandler got a turn.  He said,"It was really hard to pull."

I'm thinking we need to do some professional family  pictures here.

I'm not sure what Brooklyn was doing.  I'm guessing she was done taking pictures. 

The kids loved watching the fish.  This pond had a lot of fish.  Some were pretty big.

Another fun family picture.

Stunning!  
I loved this sign it has Korean and English.  Yeah to being able to read and understand something.
