Spring Break 2010

We have always wanted to stay in a YURT, so this Spring Break we stayed in one at Nehalem Bay....We had a lot of fun.....It rained hard the first day and first night( this is Oregon) but we stayed dry in the YURT playing lots of games, the next 2 days were gorgeous. We went to Oceanside and went rockhounding, which we love, we found lots of Oregon jade, quartz, jasper, and some agates. We also went to some tide pools and saw lots of sea stars, hermit crabs, and anemones, and of course we went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory to get some yummy Ice Cream. Madison found a perfect little baby sand dollar but sadly it was too fragile and broke shortly after we got home :(.

Today Landon and some of the young men from our ward went to Jewell, OR. They were able to ride on a wagon and throw out hay for the Elk.





Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area is managed to provide winter habitat and supplemental feeding for Roosevelt elk. Open pastures border a state highway, offering excellent viewing of up to 200 elk during winter and spring. Landon says that hunters are the ones that fund the reserve the most, I guess they want fat elk.
