This summer, we took a family trip to visit Granddad while he was on a business trip in Daegu. Then we all hopped on an express bus together to go to the beach in Busan!
TheFry has his bag packed and is ready to go!
We went to Songjeong (송정) Beach, which is supposed to be less crowded than famous and popular Haeundae.
A couple of months earlier, when summer was just beginning, I tried on the swimming trunks I had bought in advance for him in the U.S. last summer. Unlike pretty much anything else size 12 months and above, they didn’t fit! Thus, I ordered this froggy swimsuit off of Gmarket (link). Additionally, I bought him a coordinating froggy towel, which is too big for toddlers but still cute (link).
As for the swimsuit, I especially like the fact that it guards his body from the sun so that I don’t have to worry about reapplying sunscreen to his whole trunk. Also, many swimming pools in Korea require swimmers to wear swimming caps, and the built-in hood functions as a cap, so I don’t have to worry about keeping track of a swim cap. Plus, it shades his face a little bit, which is nice – and pretty much the only reason he tolerates wearing it.
TheFry plays in the waves with his Granddad!
He’s the cutest little froggy at the beach!
He was surrounded by adoring fans all day long
TheFry loves water, so naturally, he loved the beach! He was very busy the whole time we were there – he simply would not sit down and take a rest for one minute! His favorite activity was putting sand back in the ocean.
He finds the utensil of choice…
…and scoops up the sand
here he’s bringing it back to the ocean…
where it belongs!
Going back for more.
He also enjoys diving head-first into the water.
Good save, PapaFish!
By the time we got to the barbecue restaurant afterwards, he was pretty tuckered out.
blink.
And by the time we got off the train at the Busan Bus Depot, he was completely gone. He stayed that way on the bus ride home to Daegu, and on the taxi ride to the hotel…all the way through the night.
Sweet dreams, little Fry!

Daddy is becoming a real Korean with the ability to sleep upright on the train! Looks like you had a great time!
I don't know if he's actually sleeping or not but we were all so tired it's probably close enough!
