Have you read any of J.R. Tolkien’s books? If so, you might be familiar with “The Hobbit” or “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Even if you haven’t read the books, I’m sure that you’ve heard of the movies that have been made over the past decade or so. I was fortunate to be able to visit The Alexanders’ farm where portions of the movies were filmed. They own a working sheep and beef farm, but a small portion of the farm was turned into a movie set for the filming of some of the scenes. If you would like to read more about it, you can go to this website. Below are some of my favorite photos from the day.

“No way! So cool! Is that really from the Hobbit? Is she really there? This is awesome. I wish I could just go through the picture. We are all freaking out!” Just a few yell outs from our class. This just keeps getting better.

It is so fun to read these comments. I hope that you can all take this trip some day too. It is truly a beautiful country with the nicest of people. Too bad you can’t just jump through the computer screen and join me now!
