Another Package from New Jersey!

Our package from Rob! He sent us another clue! Do you know the Identity of this Building? We called Grandpa Neilson for help!

It is the Pennsylvania State House aka Independence Hall! We now have 584 Tabs! Thanks Rob!

We were so excited today when we got our package from Rob! We had figured out his first clue and he had promised to send 100 more tabs! With his package it brings our total to 584 tabs! He also included another clue for us to figure out. After calling our Grandpa Neilson for help, we were happy to find a picture of Independence Hall on the Internet that looked just like the one Rob sent us. We also found out that it use to be called the Pennsylvania State House before it was renamed Independence Hall. Independence Hall is, by every estimate, the birthplace of the United States. It was within its walls that the Declaration of Independence was adopted. It was here that the Constitution of the United States was debated, drafted and signed. Thanks Rob...we are having so much fun!

A Package from New Jersey!

A Package from New Jersey! Wow! 102 Pop Tabs!
We had to search for the clue
to find out who was responsible
for this great feat! Do You Know?!!!

We were so excited when we got home from school today and had a package from New Jersey!!! Our mom's friend, Rob Morison lives there and he sent us 102 pop tabs! We couldn't believe our eyes when we opened the package. He also included 2 photos with a clue for us to solve. If we could tell him the names of the 2 brothers who were responsible for the amazing feat shown in the photos he would send us 100 more. After grabbing our magnifying glass, we found that the brothers were Orville and Wilbur Wright. The pics were of a Wright Flyer Replica! Thanks Rob!!!
