Mama did decide that all of us have to come to the ocean .. She got us some containers to sleep in on the way down so we do not get all messy like we usually do. They are the under the bed containers and we are going to ride under Mimi and Leah's blankets. lol That sounds weird but should be ok. It will keep us safe and make more room for stuff in the car and the place for the pups too. We are probably going to take the bikes this year because they are easier to pack than the horses we think. We have not made that decision for sure.
Rockaway beach is not far from Tillamook, we can do one day to the cheese factory this year. Oh wait they were taking out the visitor center last year or changing it at least. Not sure it is there to go to. BRB going to check google. They are building a new visitors center this year. It probably will not be done by the time we are there so we will experience the temporary visitor place which will be kewl so that we know all of it. We shall see, but at least it will still be open and able to go through .. Yeah!!!!
Ok, enough chatter got to get back to work on outfits .. have a great week..

You see the hawksbill normally in the reefs where the sponges are plenty. They love them the most but do eat algae, crustaceans, fish, mollusks, jellyfish and sea urchins. They have a good hard shell that protects them from being prey but they watch for sharks, crocodiles, octopuses, large fish and humans. The sea turtles have been found dead and when they were cut open they found up to 11 pounds of plastic in their bodies that they have eaten thinking it was jellyfish floating in the water. Our garbage is killing these beautiful creatures.
Mimi loves the ocean and we will see what Leah thinks about traveling so far and being in a new place and at the ocean. She does not like change really well but she seems to be doing great here so we are sure she will like the trip to the ocean.
Well it is time for me to get off here, but wanted to share our excitement at the new beach cottage for the summer vacation. God is good to provide the fun for us to visit .. had to get it booked early so no one else would have our week.
Did you know that Leatherback turtles can exceed 2,000 pounds, and be around seven feet long. They are the largest turtles on the earth. Emi's polar bears are around 2,000 pounds so these turtles could give the polar bears a run for the size medal. LOL It is funny that they eat a lot of jelly fish that are small little creatures mostly made of water. Can you believe that the leatherback sea turtle can stay under water for up to 85 minutes without surfacing to breathe, and can dive 3,000 feet deep. 1,000 meters, That is a long way down. The female babies roam the oceans until they a mature, then they come back to the nesting area. Males spend the rest of their lives at sea. You do not think of turtles as sea creatures, we see so many on land, but sea turtles are just that. Sea turtles. At least the males.
While studying the sea turtles I found out how much trouble that our garbage is causing animals in the ocean and wanted to report on that too. I am so sad to see what all happens to helpless animals.
"The Ocean Clean Up"; is trying to work on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch between Hawaii and California. It will take them five years to clean out half of what is in the water now and more is added daily to the messes. That is only one company working on one garbage patch. We need to care about the earth we live on and the animals that share this earth with us.
God put us on the earth to enjoy and take care of it and we are destroying the world He gave us. It saddens me as I study to see how we are allowing our world to be taken over with garbage. No more garbage soap box. I will go back to turtles on my next post. I just found all this information while studying the lives of the sea turtles.
The lil pika was known as the Ochotona iliensis named after Li's hometown when he fount them in 1983. He has since raised money to study and protect them. He was able to accomplish this until the photos came out in 2014.
There is no one protecting them right now and Li is trying to get them to be in a conservation so they are safer from humans.
Our pastor needs prayer, she came through the cancer surgery just fine and then has had complications with calcium so she is back in the hospital. We really enjoy her preaching and pray to God that she gets well soon. We miss her at church .. it is just not the same.
