A Long Walk

We went on a walk today along Hadrian's Wall. Isn't it amazing?

See that steep hill with the tiny steps? We climbed all of those. Can you believe it?!

You get some pretty amazing views from being up that high!

We walked along the wall for a bit on the footpath. And, yes, we are wearing jackets at the end of June. Who knew?!

The Romans built forts every mile along the wall so that they could watch for enemies. We took a break at one of them.

Then we made it to our destination...

Sycamore Gap. It is a nice spot for a picnic, no? (If you saw Robin Hood with Kevin Costner, this is the tree from the beginning of the movie.)

After getting fueled back up for the walk back to the car, we set off and walked right next to some sheep!

See how happy this makes me!

Daddy climbed up one of the ladders to get over the wall and got a fun picture of us!

And then he and Mommy stopped for a picture. Tender!

Then we had to keep on walking. We walked nearly 2 miles today. I did it all without being carried (and without much complaining!), and Riley Cates walked most of the way by herself as well! Mommy and Daddy said how proud they were of us and our walking!

It was a beautiful day to see the beautiful countryside!
