The Gap of Dunloe

To take it easy after the previous days adventure we decided to set out for a long walk in the Gap of Dunloe.  We opted to walk instead of take a "trap" because that's just how we are.  Once again "Climb Every Mountain" was looping through my head the whole time.  This was a scenic walk past some lakes and towards the gap in the mountains.  We made it to just before the road starts to climb before we turned back.  The temperature dropped considerably as the wind picked up in between the mountains.  Having the wind at your back is far preferable to walking into it.  The scenery was stunning.  Thankfully this was one of the nicer days weather wise of our trip.  It makes it a lot easier to drag your kids on a 2 hour walk when they aren't being pelted with ice. 
After our stroll through the mountains we attempted to do some shopping in Killarney.  At this point we passed our prime with the girls and the prices were less than desirable, so this wasn't the most successful shopping trip.  We headed home to try and finish off some more potatoes and sausage. 

This man stopped his trap to let Gabby pet the horse

So many nice people offered to take our picture on this trip

These people gave Gabby one of their carrots to feed the horse

Dan decided to brush up on 4-H skills and catch a sheep for us

Lottie made it through the first hour on her own two feet and then required a nap.  Gabby was a trooper the whole time!

Stopping for a picnic at the furthest point of our walk where the wind was the strongest may not have been the wisest choice
