BearTree Park

We went to BearTree park south of Cheonan today with some friends from our bldg.



From that bridge you could feed the Koi. As soon as we walked onto the bridge, they started coming from all over the pond.



They just kept on coming.

It got pretty ridiculous!

 

They were pushing each other out of the water.

 

Isaac thought it was funny.  He got his hair cut today.

 

Conrad needs a haircut.

 

If you count Delainey's doll, we had 4 people looking at the same time for this pic.

The whole park was trimmed up nicer than Disney.

It was like Alice in Wonderland.

It was the perfect day.  Rain was on the forecast so we pretty much had the park to ourselves.  It rained a bit off and on but nothing too bad.

Delainey leading the way.

Isaac stopped to smell the roses.
 

They had bears there too.

And you could get REALLY close to them. 

 

These unidentified birds must be super rare.  I have never seen them in any zoo in America.

One of the Gardens.  We had some really good pizza here.  The toppings were pepperoni, bacon, French fries, onions, olives, and pineapple.  It was the only choice of pizza and if you ever try it you will realize there is no reason for any other combination of pizza toppings.

Korea has a lot of hills.

Did I mention you can get really close to the animals?  I could've done this with the bears also.  In fact, I almost did but they use their claws a lot and whenever they reached at my hand with their paws I kept chickening out.

I think Delainey is in this picture somewhere.

They kept the big bears in this pit.  You could buy animal crackers to feed them.

Mostly they sat nicely like this waiting for you to toss them a biscuit.  Not always though.  At one point 2 bears started fighting and my initial reaction to run away slowed me down too much to get it on video.  This was the second time today I missed a good picture/video opportunity cause I was too much of a sissy.

This bear seemed to really be hungry but when I hit him in the face with a biscuit he barely moved.  Watch the video at the end and you can see us feeding the cool bears.



Like this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHzNkx8wvZE Here is a link to a video of us feeding the koi and the bears.

On the way out of the park, I took a picture of this tree.  It looks like ajima's fingers.
