Hi everyone, I am now at my Grandpa's farm. We went through Yellowstone and Theodore Roosevelt National Park yesterday. We had spent two days at Yellowstone. Yellowstone has two thirds of the world's geysers. My favorite geyser was Fountain Geyser, it went on for thirty minutes. It has many hot springs too. We saw a mother and two baby bears, at two in the morning! We also saw elk, bison, hawks, and a Red Fox; I saw it by accident! The favorite thing I did was climb up the hill that was by our campsite. I even met some people from Israel, they were Noam, Amit, and there mother and father. Yellowstone is one of the greatest places on Earth.

Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Author: J. K. Rowling
Rating: 5+
At the beginning of the story, Harry is lying in his aunt and uncles flower bed so he could hear if there was any news of Voldemort's return. When Harry gets up he hears a loud crack!! What could have made that sound. After being almost strangled by his uncle and accused for making that loud cracking sound, Harry decides to take a walk. Harry meets up with his cousin Dudley on the way back to his uncle's house. They are then attacked by dementors. What a day! Four days later a group of six wizards and three witches come to the Durley's house to take Harry to the headquarter of the Order of the Phoenix. I can't tell you were it is, it's a secret. In the Order, surprises are around ever corner. Hogwarts is similar. When Harry gets back to Hogwarts he is very disappointed. Hagrid is not there and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is almost worse then Professor Snape. She gives Harry very painful lines and other evil things. Many other things happen this year at Hogwarts. Join in on the adventure and have fun!

Hi, I know this is my first post in a while, so I decided to tell you why. I have been camping in the mountains of Colorado and Utah. Turquoise Lake, Bryce Canyon, and Zion were all the places I have been visiting during the last week. I will have new book review posted shortly now that I am half way through the second trip of this summer. I am at my grandma's house for a week.
