We went to Stonehenge this weekend. Stonehenge is a place where there are tons of stones that are harder than ground. The largest sarsen at Stonehenge is about 45 tons! It was created about 5,000 years ago. Around the edge of Stonehenge researchers would dig and try to find clues of why it was built. It is some kind of temple. In between what the researchers thought were outlines of old houses, they found bones and bits of pig and cow. Nowadays Stonehenge sits on a triangle land that is surrounded by busy roads. We had to go under a tunnel on one side of the road where we parked to get to the other side where Stonehenge was. Researchers are still studying and trying to find things that the ancient people would have used to move the giant stones. We walked around and took pictures. Right as we were leaving it started to pour down rain.Sunday, January 29, 2012

I wanted you guys to see it with me and I tried to skype you so it felt like you were there with me. I tried to do it at circle time for you which is 3 p.m. for me. I will try again another day. Tell Nairobi not to get a messy carrot beak!
