We went hiking up Mt. Jiri-Republic of Korea on May 3, 2008. We didn't make it to the top but it was fun.. My husband was carrying our 16 months old EJ on a baby carrier and I carried our 2 year old, Rylie, when she needed help. Amazingly, Rylie, pushed on further than any other child her age could during our climb....she is a true fighter. It was hard, we tried to keep up with the rest of the hikers but we have to make mini stops for EJ's mimi-time and diapie change. He drunk too much water. Good thing we brought some oranges with us which keep us refreshed. Finally my daughter said, "can we go back now guys, I am tired already?" So we decided to turn and go back down. We were short on time but not on will. We will make the climb again when we have more time to complete it. Forget aerobics class......if you want a great workout, strap a baby to your body and climb a mountain......whew!
This is in front of the main temple 
Taking pictures while others were using the restroom at Cheond Phoung Gas Station. 
This is where we end our quest lol. Our princess can't endure it anymore..
A sweet hug in exchange of going up further and seeing the falls..
Cooling down from atop the mountain..
Rylie is taking a rest.
Here's some more pictures:
EJ got scared of the inflatable figures lol..
Here's the start of the quest lol..
This was when we got back from the mountain hike... This is the place where the mini temples are..
Notice how my son is freaking out because he wanted his mim
One of the many wooden bridges going up the mountain
Mt. Jiri is a mountain in the southern region of South Korea. Some Koreans see it as one of the three most important mountains in South Korea, with Hallasan and Seoraksan (we also went on this one) being the other two. This 1915m (6,283 ft)-high mountain is located in Jirisan National Park.
I really like times like these..nature trekking..

ReplyDelete^_^Hi Lou, Korek, nakakfrustrate talaga if u keep visiting them but they never bother to visit u back.. Shipping is very expensive talaga, mas mahal nga dito sa Korea eh..
ReplyDelete^_^Thank you Nana Belen... The kids really enjoyed the hike, we enjoyed it although napakahirap para saming dalawa hehehe..
^_^Hi Psycha, We are nature lover so we really do enjoy hiking...
So much colour and nature where you are. Perhaps you'll get to the top next time round, when little feet will follow rather than be carried.
ReplyDelete^_^Hi Juliet, OO nga kaka miss nga yung opps dun eh... malas ko lang at natepok agad ako hehehe.. Yup, we don't have picture together because kami lang papalit palit in taking the pics!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting!
Actually we're going for another hike next month and we'll see if we can make it hehehe,... Colorful it is, that's one aspect that attacted me the most in here..
Sorry, I got digging through your past posts. I use a feed reader kasi haha.
ReplyDeleteYou got a nice family. You're hubby is handsome and you got nice little kids.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Gem....I would like to use feedreader too but I need to learn how am i going to do that lol...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm planning to put that up in one of my blogs, siguro sa Lady Programmer or sa Single Parent.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went round mom blogs, mukhang blogroll ata ang usong ginagamit. Also find that easy to navigate. =)
Thant's a good idea Gem, would be looking forward to that post.. I really wann learn to do that, just don't have enough time to research on it hehehe..
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures as usual. I enjoyed going on this hike with your family, you always make your posts so interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it was an amazing trip, and one your children will enjoy looking back and remembering. How high was the mountain? Good for your daughter for making it as far as she did! :) You have a beautiful family. I'll definitely be coming back to read more.
ReplyDeleteThe mountain was 6,283 feet Nicole. It was very steep too, not really kid-friendly but glad that we had two little troopers with us.
DeleteWhat a fun way to stay active as a family. Physical activity is so important to teach from an early age.

Love hiking pictures and getting your kids involved. That first pic of your little bud with his nose all scrunched up is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty in that area to explore. What a perfect way to spend a day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty hike! I love to go on hikes, but going with babies and toddlers does make it a lot more work! Great job!

ReplyDeleteYay! your kids were so little here and they're all cuteeee...I love hiking and I;m just glad my daughter like it though she complaint once in a while. I never been in Korea, hopefully I can set my foot one day there.
