HappY Times In Hobbiton

Exploring Hobbiton: These photos highlight some of my favorite parts of the Hobbiton set that my family visited in the past year while we were in New Zealand. My sister, Devon, and my brother, Braden, are featured in these photos as well. We are very close and enjoy going on adventures together. Our trip to New Zealand was our biggest adventure yet.  “Aaaahhh,” we all screamed as we placed our hands on the hot coals on the stove in Hobbiton’s mini welding shop. JK Don’t worry it’s just a prop! Those coals aren’t real, but they make for a fun picture.  My favorite photo is the one of my brother in the bathtub made for hobbits. He’s the only one in our family who could fit in the tub, as he is the only one who is at “Hobbit Height.” The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies are some of my family's favorites. We enjoyed visiting the set where some of the most iconic scenes from these movies took place. However, we had to remind each other, “Watch your head,” as we entered the tiny hobbit homes. Our family is a bit too tall for those tiny hobbit-sized doorways. “Ouch,” my mom said as she hit her head in the doorway, again!
