Pop Chinn Stew. That's what Ken called his circumstantial evidence case he tried in 1983 as a young Deputy DA. I listened as he painted a wonderful word picture of his father putting together various ingredients to make a delicious pot of stew. It's been 30 years but that image of his father making the stew hasn't left my mind. In honor of Ken's dad, Vernon Chinn, we want to make some Chinn Stew of our own. Stop by from time to time and enjoy some Chinn Stew as we share some of our family happenings.

A smile here, a smile there . . .

Pictures that make mom smile.  It appears the kids' favorite toy is mom's phone.  Many of the pictures were discovered when uploading onto the computer today.


Robert's breakfast of choice.   

Robert's shot of his brother.

and sister.

Mary and her chocolate rocks.


A Festival treat for Robert.
The Festival stage with lots of great HGU talent.

Dad and the kids trying out some food booths at the Festival.


The kids' favorite~the Mission Booth served Tim Tam Slams.  Tim Tams are Australian biscuit like cookies.  Ken said it's the best cookie he's ever eaten.  You bite off both ends of the cookie, sip hot chocolate through it, slam the Tim Tam into your mouth as soon as you feel the hot chocolate (before the cookie falls apart). :-)
  
Fall colors.

A great day for a walk along the beach with a friend. 

A sweet friend taking shots of the beach scene during our walk.

The kids loved seeing chicken run loose behind a restaurant in Kyeong Ju (a historical city an hour away).




Mary and her friends' fort #1.  

Robert trying it out.

The girls found a better location for fort #2.  A path leading to their spot.

The "scaffolding" for their new fort.


They found yet another (BETTER) place.  Pictures of the new place coming soon.

We attended another wedding.  The bride and groom looked like they walked off the pages of a wedding magazine.  It was a beautiful ceremony.
 Apparently the kids were not impressed with the wedding that mom was "oohing and aahing" over.  They wouldn't allow mom to post the shots they took with mom's phone during the ceremony.  Let's just say, I saw way too many pictures of their eyes.





Dad multi-tasking.  Reading and blogging.

Hot chocolate at HisBeans Coffee Shop on a cold day!
