Fun Weekend

This weekend was pretty fun. The Stumbling Parents came for a visit from North Carolina. A fun time was had by all.

Here we are eating a delicious dinner at the new Korean restaurant. Mother Stumbler insisted we try it out.

On Saturday, we went to Green Mountain nature trail for a picnic and short walk in the woods. For my Korea friends... do you have peaches in Korea? I don't ever remember seeing any:

The nature trail on Green Mountain features a nice picnic area overlooking a small lake. It was very pleasant.

I brought a heating pad back from Korea for Mother Stumbler, and we finally gave it to her this weekend. The Konglish on the heating pad instructions are pretty funny.

Funnies

Young Stumbler #2 told us four most excellent jokes yesterday. They are so funny I just had to post them. I challenge all my Korean friends to understand all four of these jokes.

Q: Where did George Washington keep his armies?
A: In his sleevies

Q: What do you call a fly with no wings?
A: A sit

Q: Why do sharks prefer salt water?
A: Because pepper water makes them sneeze

Q: Where do you find a dog with no legs?
A: Right where you left him

Bonus credit for my Korean friends if you can understand this famous quotation from Groucho Marx.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Fourth of July

This past weekend in America we celebrated our Independence Day. Since the 4th of July fell on a Tuesday, most companies gave Monday and Tuesday as a holiday, making it a 4-day weekend. The Stumblers were invited to the Stumbling Sister- and Brother-In-Law's Lake House for the holiday. Here are some exciting photos.
