I forgot this picture but it has quite the story attached. We were in Wenceslas Square just taking a quick peek. Nothing special about the square, it's a huge rectangle market area. Well, we sent Dallin off to run after the pigeon's since he was itching to do so. He was having a blast when we all decided to head off. We walked into a small souvenir shop then got kicked out because they didn't want the kids inside. (They were not nice people) We chatted a moment before walking about a minute when we realized that Dallin was NOT with us. Thinking back, we'd left him at the square with the pigeons. My heart sunk to my feet as Mike and I ran back. We did a quick search with no luck. Our friend split up, one stayed with the kids the other helped. Only minutes had passed before Mike found him with a couple. He was in tears telling them he'd lost his family. They spoke enough English and told him they'd help him. WHEW! What a terrible moment for us but it ended in a good note. Mike was guided to the spot to find him. He doubted himself when he followed the inspiration, because he knew Dallin wouldn't have gone that far...but he did!

Wow, what a story and thank goodness for the good ending. Looks like a beautiful and memorable trip, so jealous!
Oh how scary! I get distracted, and have done a few things like that! I am so glad he found a nice couple to keep him company! Your trip pictures are fantastic! Looks like a great time! Your kids are so lucky to have these awesome experiences!
Oh how scary! I can't even imagine the feeling! Poor Dallin! One time we were at the APS Christmas Light Parade on Mill Avenue and I found a 4-year-old boy who had lost his mom. He was so scared and I started to cry because I felt so bad for him and for his mom. It didn't really help the situation. How scary!
How fun that you found my blog. I can't believe the amazing adventures you are having in Germany. I am kind of jealous. You and your family look so good, and so happy. Thanks for saying hi.
