Korea - Temple

One of the days we headed out to tour a temple near the house.  This day was a day I will never forget and very thankful for the outcome.

  Pierce is a great tour guide. 

I love this picture because the "Fanny Pack" has a long history in the Denton family.  And here Pierce is carring it forward.  It's almost bigger than he.

I copied the text below from Camille's blog as I could not have recorded the incident that i mentioned earlier any better.

 

From Camille: 

When I parked the car at the temple we were on a slight incline and later I will have learned that I must not have put the car in park. To make a very long (and dramatic) story short. We parked the car got everyone out the car and even got the stroller out the back of the car. Did about a 15 min tour of a temple and as we headed back to the car Pierce was in the lead. Out of his better judgement he decided to get in the front seat of the car and with a little motion of the car (and not sure what really happened) before my eyes I watch the car start to roll backwards into a 4 lane street (that is quite busy... called by the locals the upper road). Grandpa had the baby and was trapped by the backseat door as he was trying to put the baby in his seat. Pierce's drivers seat door is wide open and he is not wearing a seat belt. Grandpa tries to stop the car, Grandma tries to start the car. I take the baby from GP and we all roll out of the way expect for Pierce. The stroller was in the back of the car and it was being squashed as I shout out the name of Jesus for protection (the first thing that came to mind... thank you God). Then we adults stand there (sort of) and watch Pierce roll across perpendicularly the 4 lane, rolls over a curb and then hits a tree, which brings him to a stop. I run across the street with the baby on my hip looking for other cars to make sure everyone has stopped. And they had thanks to a man (and angel from God) that had seen what was going on and placed himself between our car and the on coming traffic. He ran to our aid and asked if we were ok... I said yes and he pointed me in the direction I should park the car and then he disappeared. We all got back in the car and went back home and waited for someone to come get the car to fix it. This story could have gone a 100 different ways and could have been really really bad. I am so thankful that we were all safe (including the strangers on the road). God truly blessed us this day and kept us all safe. I am thankful for his angels.

 

 

 I love how the boys just adore each other.  Pierce is a great big brother and Asher just loves to make him laugh.

 This is one sweet boy and makes my heart melt!

 That evening after dinner we went to the roof top of the condo unit and this is the view.  It's a beautiful view of the ship yards all lite up.

Overlooking Ulsan.
