Grabbing Fresh Air

Fresh air is the greatest, isn't it? We can't get enough these days... and although many would say how horrible Korea smells... I don't seem to mind it (it has something to do with the fact that we've been visiting places amidst the mountains...) Today's agenda brought us to Wawoojongsa Temple, where we strolled around the grounds, and took in all the beautiful colors, buildings, statues, etc. I can now officially say that I've seen the World's Largest Wooden Buddha... yup, he was there, at the tippity top.

Along the way up (it took quite awhile, because Charlotte climbed these massive stone stairs all by herself), we took a few little "sit down" breaks for Charlie... and the one time when we sat, she noticed others on the stairs, bowing down, in worshipping mode with their hands folded (towards Buddha of course)... and so, would you know it... my little one folded her hands and started praying to God. Yup, she did... it went a little something like this: "Ta too vor dis day Dod... Amen." And now I shall translate, "Thank you for this day God, Amen"

Stopping to "smell the roses" has become a common occurrence these days. She never used to pay them any attention, and then all of a sudden, voila! I actually have to tell myself, it's okay to take things a little slower these days... my little girl needs to enjoy the little things as much as I do. It just gives me more of a chance/reason to snap more and more photos of her.

Here in Korea, Charlotte is a ROCKSTAR... the Koreans eat her up everywhere she goes (I'm surprised there's still pieces of her left!)... but what the Korean don't know... is that Charlotte thinks they're ROCKSTARS!

Sometimes random "time out" locations, are not very effective... note to self...

Same picture... just a different focus...

So... GO... get off the computer... and grab some fresh air... it'll be worth your while.
