Studying Creation...

Did you know that the African elephant stands 13 feet tall and is 20 feet long? Its trunk is 300 pounds and its tusks weigh 250 pounds each! We tried to imagine squeezing one of them into our house. Our dining room is about 11 1/2 feet wide. We would need a room twice as big as that to hold the African elephant. Oh, and it would bust through the ceiling. We were fascinated at how large the elephant is. They don't look that big when we see them at the zoo. I need to make a point to find out if the elephants at our zoo are African or Asian. The Asian elephants are smaller than the African ones.

While we were studying about animals, the boys were supposed to make some animals out of playdough. We added in some Mr. Potato Head pieces to make it more interesting. Luke liked wearing the glasses.
