How amazing that they have them hanging on the side of the hill, and a chair for the people to sit on and rule the world (even as a spirit!)<br /><br />Gorgeous photos - your girls did well to walk that far!<br /><br />Incredible.

Also, we find that we have better luck with a bit cooler weather (Sagada was perfect for it)--the girls hate walking when its hot out--can't blame them!With 2 Kids In Towhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698525647389998509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487999432961323989.post-55418642645503855372011-06-03T13:14:24.741-07:002011-06-03T13:14:24.741-07:00Around our home, our just-turned five year olds do...Around our home, our just-turned five year olds don't like to walk that much either, but when we went hiking in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada three months ago, they hiked and climbed for three hours straight with no complaining at all! I think it has to do with a sense of adventure and changing scenery. Plus, we've been taking them on hikes since there were 20 months.Christina Pilkingtonhttp://www.christinapilkington.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487999432961323989.post-41206131074525007292011-06-03T00:18:24.222-07:002011-06-03T00:18:24.222-07:00Amy,

I'm sure that they have built up stamina from the trip too, but what we've been doing lately has been as much 'hiking' as just walking, and we've never done ANY hiking with them before as it just wasn't accessible where we lived. the hiking has been a great opportunity to exercise their gross motor skills, their coordination and muscle development, and they actually really enjoy the challenge--it certainly takes their mind off the length of the trip! <br /><br />At the same time, walking with the kids takes 2x as long to cover the same distance. in sagada, we probably only covered about 1-1.5km in the morning, and about 4.5-5km round trip in the afternoon!With 2 Kids In Towhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698525647389998509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487999432961323989.post-61595751763355583082011-06-02T14:26:56.326-07:002011-06-02T14:26:56.326-07:00That is so amazing that your girls can walk for su...That is so amazing that your girls can walk for such long distances! Could they do that before or have they built up stamina from traveling?Amyhttp://worldschooladventures.comnoreply@blogger.com
