Lake Aire RV Park and Campground (by Caleb)

-
When we got to Lake Aire RV Campground it was a nice warm day. Jordan went to the pool but I didn't go for fear of the pool being too cold. Then we went through the arrival checklist and got set up and then later ate dinner and went to bed.

In the morning we kind of checked the place out. We played on a nice sized playground they had, biked around, and saw waddling ducks. I liked the last campground (Red Gate Farms), but I also liked this one especially because this campground had wild Muscovy ducks waddling around the park. I was happy about that because I missed our ducks so bad and the fact that there were some there made me happy. We repeated doing those two things until later we went to the pool, swam, ate dinner, and went to bed.

The next day we did pretty much the same thing except I think we did a little school also. 

The next day we went to the Magnolia Plantation where we went to a petting zoo. We saw all kinds of animals but there were a few animals running around free including deer, ducks, chickens, goats, racoons, and peacocks. One of the deer even tried to eat the contents of mom's purse and my pencil that I was drawing with. At the Plantation we also went on a walk in a garden, went on a train, and learned about slaves.








Then we went home because it was late in the day, near 4:00. We ate dinner and went to sleep. See you in the morning!

When I woke up I ate breakfast then we did school, school, and school, which was not very fun at all, but after school I went and played on the playground and burned off my energy from being excited about my birthday then had dinner and went to bed.

The next day we celebrated my birthday!!!!!!!!

I had a list of what I did, so I will tell you how my day went. In the morning we watched "Animaniacs." Then we played inside until snack time. Then we played, opened presents, and relaxed until lunch. Then after lunch we played outside on the playground, had a treasure hunt, and had an epic water balloon fight. We had a steak dinner at the pavilion, and then we watched "Spy Kids," a movie I got at the end of the treasure hunt. Then we went to bed. In the morning we left for Hominy Valley Campsite, but tha story will be told at a different time.

    Great blog post Caleb! Sounds like you miss the ducks at your old house. I'm afraid that I wouldn't know a Muscovy duck if one was quacking in front of me right now. I'm glad you like nature and animals like the Muscovy ducks. I also like all the pictures of the animals at the petting zoo. I would have loved to be with you there petting them all! Then again, I get to pet Pudge as much as I want to and I'll bet she's softer than any of the animals in your pictures. Nana and I miss you and your family, but we're thrilled that you're enjoying your trip!

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
