Yanks RV Resort (by Jordan)

-

We got to Yanks RV Resort at about five o'clock in the evening. There was a big bump when we got into our RV site, which was kind of annoying, because it shook the whole RV. 



First thing Caleb and I did was to go and take a..  (especially Dad's perspective) A PERFECT SHOWER! I know it's great right? I loved the showers. Caleb and I (separately) took about ten showers in a week! One day we took three showers!

                                            

There was also a dog park where I took the bunnies many times. It had two concrete tubes that the bunnies loved. They did some binkies and zoomies.

There was also a lot of wind, so much you could fly a kite any day! Asher made a little man with a little parachute. Caleb did empty dog bag kites. One went over the fence and into the kale fields. Half of the time I loved the wind. We made kites, threw them in the air and saw who caught them! It was fun!

                              

 We went to the Pinnacles National Park's west entrance this time. 



We were eating lunch and we saw a rattlesnake slithering through the fence. We had not seen one before!

    


I liked climbing the rocks! We saw condors from afar. The boys saw them close up on the High Peaks Trail. 


We saw a couple fence lizards on the rocks.


  


During the week, I liked making circuits during school using Snap Circuits.  I also cut up fresh California strawberries!

Mom, the boys and I went back to visit Pinnacles N. P. to do another trail and see a talus cave.




It was fun climbing!

    Great blogs Jordan! I am so jealous of everything you are experiencing on your trip to the national parks. You'll have to try hard to remember all of them once you get back to Georgia. These blogs will help remember. You'll have some great stories to tell for the rest of your life. It's quite a contrast to slide down some of the snowy slopes in your pictures and sliding down a felled giant sequoia tree! I'm especially happy when you find friends at some of the RV parks you're staying at. I really liked the picture of the white tiger, but I'm confident he's not as cuddly as he looks! I got a chance to spend the day with Sophia and Nathan today while Nana went to Melissa's baby shower with Alaina. Sophia and Nathan are both looking forward to the time when you live closer and they can see their cousins oftener. Gramps

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...

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!

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...
