Russian River RV park review
Russian River Thousand Trails RV park resort and camp ground. This Rv park is in Cloverdale, right off Redwook Highway and interscts the Russian river. Cloverdale is in a beautiful aria that is widely known for its agriculture, specifically for its wine. The aria is really mountain/hill-y, the drive here was amazing, watching the vineyard covered hills as they sloped and rose into the sunset...
The Rv park itself is also a great park, one of my favorites! The park is in a ditch in between some mountain/hills and is encased in deep lush forest. The sites are big and are spaced far apart from each other, which gives plenty of space for our crazy lives! ;) The bathrooms are clean and taken care of (as much as they can, you can see that this park has a limited allowance and so there bathrooms are old, but they take care of them better than most TT's I've been too). The staff are all friendly and love kids (unlike some TT's we've been to). And they don't have strict rules such as 'You can't advertise you business here' or ' keep you'r children inside the RV if you are not watching them'. The family lodge has fast, reliable internet (most of the time), that is only a short walk away from anywhere in the park (even though its a big park). This park is a great place for 'weekenders' so if you'r full-time the weekends can get a little crazy, especially in the arias with more tent sites. But if you chose a good spot the week days are nice and calm and quiet and sometimes you can hear the river flowing.
Speaking of the river, it is awesome! It's perfectly cool, but not too cold. It is really fun to play in and it doesn't get too fast or too deep. We found some tad poles and baby fish in the shallow parts and Lorna, Cedar and I like to play with them and find cool shells and rocks.
The temperature is perfect here! Most days the high is like 80 degrees, which is way better than the last place we were at. I think that part of the reason is all the shade. The trees are huge and thick here, probably because we are so close to the Redwoods. I love all the shade here, it makes it seem cool and relaxed. And the sun never really rises early and wakes me up too early in the morning. :)
The one and only downside is the snakes and poison oak. We cannot go off of any trails and we have to be careful to stay away from the side of the road. But the oak is easy to avoid if you are careful and we haven't seen any snakes yet.
Over all this is an AWESOME park and I definitely recommend for full-timers and weekenders to come!

A Natural History of Dragons Book Report
A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie BrennanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an awesome book! I absolutely fell in love with lady Trent and I will want to be reading more of her books! This book was definitely about Girl Power and about equality of the sexes. Girls can do ANYTHING men can do! I loved how determined she was to do what she loved regardless of who she is! I loved the way (view spoiler) This book was a little under my reading level but it seemed to grab me more that other under-my-level books do. It had drama and suspense and towards the end I never knew what was behind the corner for this book. Building good suspense that leads up to an equally exciting ending to keep the readers hooked is hard to do at this level of reading. So, although this book is easy to read it is a great read for any age. :)

Umm... Hello!
I AM SORRY (for the thousandth time). I am really bad at this blogging stuff, I need to set myself a reminder on my phone or something.
OK, so this is what has happened since my last post:
-Road Trip! Woot Woot!
I am (finally) starting to upload my pictures from the roadtrip on DeviantArt (if you wanna see them click HERE). It was so fun! We went for five days; from April 29th to May 4th. We went to the following parks: Dinosaur NationalMonument, Canyonlands NPark, Colorado NM, Arches NP, The Four Corners, and two more that I cannot remember the names of... O_o. My favorite places were Dinosaur NM, Four Corners and Arches NP! But I really loved Staying in Vernal and Moab, Vernal was a cute small town that didn't have much but one of my frined's grandma lives there and she talkes about it all the time so I was excited to here we were going there. I really loved Vernal because of this restaurant we went to, I don't remember what it was called but it was amazing! They gave you so much food and it was delicious! And Moab... Oh, Moab... It is a beautiful area! I could live there! I have no words for the beautiful mountains and scenery around there! I can tell why people like to visit there! And Dad and I went to this really fun speech for Photographers there! :)
-Then we (Ephraim and I) stayed at Grandma's over night and then went and flew back to Cal with mom! :)
-So when we got to Cal we went back to an RV park that we were staying at before we went to Utah. Its called Lake Minden, we have been staying there for the past month (from May 14th to April 2nd). Then, on Monday (yesterday) we moved to a new RV park. We've never been here before, its called Russian River RV camp site and guess what, its right on a river that is called... Russian River! The river is nice and calm and so fun to play in! I will do a RV park review this next week along with a book review on a book I read and keep putting off to do a report on too. :)

Book Thief Book Review
The Book Thief by Markus ZusakMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is beautiful! I just got this book because it was on sale on NOOK and I heard that it was a good read, I had no idea what is was about. Then like 3 months later I kinda ran out of books to read so I started this one. It started out weird, the whole book is from the point of view of Death, himself. At the beginning Death explains how he never really liked to watch humans, instead he liked to focus on all the beautiful colors in the world we live in. So he spent his days picking up souls and carrying them away and also focusing on the amazing colors of the world. Until one day he was picking up a little boys soul from a train and as he did so he glanced at the sister that was sitting next to him. He suddenly became fascinated by this little girl and her story and he then goes on to explain her journey as a junge Madchen (young girl) in Nazti Germany and how she discovers the wonderful beauty of the written word. The girl (Liesel) has many adventures with her foster parents and all of her friends on Himmel Starasse (Heaven st.) which is not so heavenly. (view spoiler) The whole book is kinda a depressing story but the author does a wonderful job of making it the point of view of a little girl, so even though there are definitely tears in every copy of this book those tears are not out of sadness even though they kinda are at the same time. And if you are interested in learning German this really helps you expand your vocabulary a little bit (especially German swear words, LOL.) So... Ya... A wonderful read! Thanks to the amazing author of this book! (Favorite line in the book 'And outside the world whistled and the rain stained', an absolutely beautiful line!)
