Cub Scouts

 The church does not have a Cub Scout program here in Korea, But Good news Camp Humphries Does. However, not during the summer. :-(  So my Friend Janine and I started our own little Den with our boys.  We wanted to have them work on their Wolf so when school started they could both be in Bears with the other boys their age. (Janine and I are going to be the leaders of the Bear Den.)  So our adventure has started in Cub Scouts once more. Here is Chandler and William our Two Wolf Scouts.  
The Cub Scout Hand Shake.  
Working on our chart for our healthy habits.
Cute Cub Scouts, learning all about how to care for our bodies.
We had a mock senerio that William had cut his finger and Chandler had to take the correct steps in treating William's Finger.  William did a great Job pretending he was hurt. Chandler did an awesome job fixing his cut.
Now  the Senerio is switched and Chandler had a cut finger and William did an amazing job fixing it. 
Good as new! The boys did a great job cleaning and bandaging the cut! Here they are with their super cute Angry Bird band aids.  Way to Go Cub Scouts!
We talked about the importance of nutrition and played a couple games with all 5 food groups.  So much fun. We love Cub Scouts.
The boys went to the school and learned how to lead an outdoor  flag ceremony.

They learned  how to fold the U.S Flag.

Participated in an outdoor flag ceremony.  

And finally saluting the flag and saying the "Pledge of Allegiance". Good work boys.
Wednesday really are Chandler favorite day of the week.  He can't wait for Cub Scouts.  It's fun to see him work so hard.  And it's extra fun to do it with your friend.
"The Master Chef"

Cooking Hot Dogs for the outdoor cooking Requirement.
Chandler and William made and flew Korean Kites.  What a fun activity.

My cute Wolf Scout.  I love that smile.
William and Chandler are writing a story followed by drawing some  illustrations.

Now they are little artists.  Playing with all kinds of paints. So much fun.

Look at this cute Cub Scout sign we made.  The center part has a page protector so we can change the upcoming activities and announcements.  Way to go Boys.  It's super cute.

Korean Folk Village

Our last tour of  the day The Korean Folk Village.  This place helps us understand traditional Korean life and their culture.
 
The front of the Village
 
 
The first set of homes we came too belong to the Poor families.  You can tell because they have the straw roofs.
 
It was very fun to explore how the Korean's use to live and explore more of their culture.
 

Inside the house.  These are the tools they used.
 
The kitchen.  I can't' imagine cooking in here. Wow so small. Several generations shared these homes too.  So Great Grand parents, Grandparents, and Parents.  That is a lot of people in a small home.
 
This is where the wealthy families lived.  You can tell because of the tile roofs.
 
They are much bigger than the poor people homes.
 
They had personal tutors for the kids.
 
Chandler, was learning how to Iron clothes.
 
The wealthy homes has two types of flooring.  Tile and Wood.
 
More tools.  Wow we have come a long way haven't we?
 
The entertainment was awesome.  We sure enjoyed these shows.
 
These young men sure were enjoying themselves.  Look at some of the air on some of them.  Wow!!!
 
This was a different kind of juggling. All he had was this little stick and the disc.  He did some amazing things with this little disc.
 
Bastianclan with the Performers.  They were all sweaty and hot. 
 
Bastianclan with some more performers.
 
This guy was pretty amazing he did several stunts on this tight rope.

He would sit and bounce up to his feet again. It was like this tight rope was his trampoline.

Look how awesome he is.  He even did tricks standing on one foot.  Amazing!

This entire program was in Korean.  It was fun to see SP interpret for the kids.  I think SP need to come on all our family adventures. Ha Ha Ha
Chandler, was working so hard to get the sticks into the bucket.

Brooklyn, and Kayden trying.  We found out after the kids played for a while that this was a Ladies game. 

Our next stop was the Punishment area.  The kids thought this area was awesome.  They wanted to try out each of the torturing devices.

Kayden, is headed to Jail. 
The next performance was Horse riding.  These guys were holding flowers that the other guy would snap with his whip.  Wow!!!!

Lots of cool stunts with the guys and their horses.

These horses are very well trained.

Cool tricks.

Lots of fun at the Korean Folk Village we will for sure be going again.  I cant' wait to explore this place some more.  We only scratched the surface
