an epic tale




it has been a Lord of the Rings marathon at my house this week. 

every since Jordan finished slaying orcs in the companion video game he has been wanting to relive the epic story. so we made a trip to Half Price Books and picked up the first installment for a great price (we already had the other two) and began watching the extended versions with books in hand. 

Jordan grew up with these books and i had seen the movies like every one else. but after all the hype of the movies i had not seen them again in over 5 years. it has been really fun to experience it again with Jordan. the themes and messages are just as true and compelling. 

we are half way through the saga, and it has been great to make new memories.

p.s. these are original illustrations for the film.

hope you have a great weekend!

  1. Lee and I did a marathon about a year ago. It took us about a week to get through them, but it was worth it! What a fun set of movies.
