This afternoon we finally got some sunshine, so we decided we would head over to Jackson Bottom Wetlands to see what we could see. We weren't able to go everywhere, unless we had hip- waders. We have had tooooo much rain, usually we love the rain but we feel like we are going to start growing moss and webbed feet :). Makenna is working on a speech/report about a wetland animal and we thought we might see some to get her excited about working on her report. We didn't see too much this trip, we saw alot of tree swallows, ducks, herons, and other pretty birds that wouldn't hold still to get their pictures taken, I think one of us (the youngest) was too noisy, imagine that. We did see an eagle pretty close but by the time I got the camera ready it was too far to get a good picture. After we were done exploring we got back in the van and I asked Makenna if she had thought of the animal she was going to choose and she said the skunk, so we were all pretty happy and relieved that we didn't come in contact with any skunks.

Fireworks
Rain or Shine we can't break tradition :) We had a front row view of the barge on the river where they set off the fireworks, I guess people decided to stay home and out of the rain. When we left home it was raining pretty hard and we were wondering what we were thinking, but when we got into Portland it was only a light rain and no people.

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 :(.
