The Great Wall!


We went to the Great Wall! We had been waiting all winter to see this, and it finally got warm enough for us to go! We had to climb thousands and thousands of steps up a mountain to get to the wall, and our mom and dad got pretty tired. But we didn't. (That might be because Mom and Dad were carrying us, though.) The wall is so, so old! It is 1500 years old! And it has lots of cool guard towers where you can look out the windows and see a long way. N liked sticking his head out through the arrow-holes where the soldiers used to shoot arrows at their enemies.


We can't believe we are some of the only American kids to get to go to the Great Wall--we are so lucky to live here!
