| We celebrated Lily's 8th birthday with a delicious cake from a bakery called Tous Le Jours... |
 |
| She's reading her homemade card and laughing. She's the best. |
 |
| One of her presents was a traditional Korean dress. She loved it! :) |

| These fierce warriors guard the entrance to Dong Whasa Temple. |
 |
| Dong Whasa temple was built in 493... 999 years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue! They call it Dong Whasa because of a special type of tree that was blossoming as the temple was built. |
 |
| This is the Pagyesa Temple, a worship area. |
 |
| Aren't we so cute?!? |
 |
| The site is under construction but still amazing. We give some perspective to how big the Buddha is. |

| This is the Tongil-yaksa-yeorae-daebul Buddha statue. it is the world's biggest standing Buddha- it's 33 m tall and has a circumference of 16.5 m. He is the Great Pharmaceutical Buddha, and is believed to cure ailments and prolong life. |
 |
| This stone bridge crosses the most beautiful mountain stream. |
 |
| Fall is in the air! The kids feel right at home, but they do miss the Keene Pumpkin Festival! |
 |
| Gary wanted this picture... the best use of a limited advertising budget! Hahaha! |
