This weekend has been very windy and rainy. The back yard is covered in leaves now.

We went for a walk in the rain!  The new housing development near where we live has roads now but no houses yet.

Mount Rainier Hiking

Oh Boy we went hiking at Mount Rainier today!  It was such a pretty day and we have not been to Mount Rainier in forever!

20150822_102318

We saw lots and lot of streams and waterfalls. Mom said I could only post two photos not two hundred.

We went to the gift shop!!!  Mom let me pick out a pin for my bandana!  Here I am back at home with my Mount Rainier pin and my Glacier bear paw pin.  Also at the gift shop we got some huckleberry chocolates but they were all gone before we got home.

Avalanche Lake

We found some more photos from our Glacier trip that we meant to post but forgot.  This is from our hike to Avalanche Lake.  I found a fun tree to play in.

Here I am at the lake. The lake was very low due to the lack of rainfall but it was a beautiful spot.

This is me with a really fun family we met. They are Bengals fans and noticed right away that I am a Bengal Tiger!

20150802_163953

Also at the lake there was a chipmunk that wanted to meet me. Can you see him??  He is on the log about a foot behind me. I was good and did not chase even though that chipmunk looked very tasty.

The Trip Home

Wow it has been a really great week but now it is time to head home. At a rest stop we met Junger who has a super cool motorcycle!!!  I have told mom that we should buy a motorcycle but she has not done it yet. Junger was really nice and handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

20150807_105147

We stopped in Idaho! That is another state!  On the way to Montana we just blasted through Idaho but this time we stopped.  In Wallace they were having an accordion festival!!  But we did not stick around because we were on a mission!

20150807_134226

Our goal was to reach Leavenworth!!!  It was a super fun town where we had dinner and walked around. Then me and mom drove the rest of the way home while the others spent the night in Leavenworth. There were accordion players there too. Accordions must be more popular than I realized.

Look what mom got me!!!  It is a pin for my bandana it has a BEAR paw and says Glacier National Park!

Hidden Lake Hike

One day we went on a hike to Hidden Lake. It is Hidden because you have to hike a long way to see it, and then you have to hike even further on a steep trail to get to the lake.  It was really beautiful!!

20150804_120524

Here I am on the trail.  All the scenery is so fantastic!

20150804_130327

OMG we saw MOUNTAIN GOATSl!!!  In the picture they are behind me there were 3 of them including a small one in the middle that is called a kid.

20150804_133758

After that hike we stopped along a pretty river and got our paws and feet wet. Here I am relaxing with Nicolyn and Liana who are both so gorgeous.

Hungry Horse

While we were visiting Glacier National Park we stayed in a town called Hungry Horse. I am not making that up it is really the name.

20150803_170241

Here I am with Randy who is so handsome and runs Fort Hungry Horse and sells all kinds of animal horns and antlers plus anything else you could possibly want.

20150803_171459

This is me and Lisa. Lisa stayed at the same place we did and gave us great advice to go see Many Glacier which was a spectacular part of the park. Lisa is totally gorgeous!!

20150803_084143

Hungry Horse has a dam!!!!  Mom does not like heights she was nervous looking over the edge.  I am a tiger I was not scared but I stayed close to mom so she would feel more brave.

20150803_173736

And here is a picture of me with Liana and Nicolyn. We cooked up some yummy chicken!! to go with the vegetables. Nicolyn is Aunt Darcy’s daughter and Liana is Nicolyn’s good friend. They are both so beauuuutiuuul and funny and super smart.

Whitefish

Oh boy we went to see a nearby city called Whitefish.  Guess what was there??  A beautiful lake!!!  With a beach park!!

20150803_144628

While we were in Whitefish walking around we met Debbie and her dog Scruffy.  Debbie was really nice and is so beautiful!  Mom thought Scruffy was cute and adorable but he thought I was a chew toy.  Scruffy is actually the dog of Debbie’s Dad who is in the hospital.  I hope he gets well soon!

20150803_120658

We visited the local train station where they had some cool old train cars on display!!!!

20150803_154417

Also we went out to lunch did I mention that I love restaurants?  Here I am helping Aunt Darcy with the bacon on her salad.  When mom has salads we never have bacon!  Tigers love bacon!

20150803_135521

Best of all we went to a car wash!  It was the Blue Cow car wash and Mom says it is the best car wash she has ever been to. I think because there were really handsome young men to dry the car off afterwards.  We took lots of photos going through the car wash but mom says we already have lots of that kind of photos.

Polebridge and Lake Bowman

Today we went to another part of Glacier Park to hike near Lake Bowman. Look how beautiful the lake is!  Here I am with Liana and Nicolyn who are both super gorgeous.

20150806_114216

Ha ha! here I am with Liana, Nicolyn and Aunt Darcy we are all looking at the lake. Also we saw another BEAR today!!!  Mom was able to get a photo but the bear was far away so we decided not to post it. Also I am not in the picture with the bear.

20150806_114234

We also stopped at Polebridge where they had the most fantastic bakery!!!!

20150806_132954

Lake Grinnell

Today we did a road trip to part of the Glacier National Park called Many Glacier. I am not making it up that is what it is named. We hiked a long way to Lake Grinnell. This was one of the many lakes along the way. It was spectacular!

20150805_132030

Here I am crossing a suspension bridge!!!!

20150805_112047

This is on the road you can see a wildfire in the background.  The awesome wildfire fighters are doing a super job and have the fire under control.

20150805_160121

OMG on the road there are cows that walk around free and even cross the road!  The cars have to WATCH OUT!

20150805_085934

After we got back from the trip we went out to dinner I LOVE restaurants!  Here I am with Liana she is so beautiful and so much fun!

20150805_192606

Glacier National Park is AMAZING!

We have been hiking and having a great time!  Here is a photo of our very first hike and we SAW A BEAR a REAL LIVE BEAR!!!  He was walking on the trail towards us and mom said HEY BEAR can we use this trail and I have some BEAR SPRAY but I don’t want to use it!   And the bear got off the trail!  Aunt Darcy got a picture but now her camera is broke so I can’t show it.  It is not my fault her camera broke no matter what anybody says.

20150801_100514

Later we met Patty and Rick and Ted their bear!  I love making new friends and Patty was so gorgeous!  Ooh la la!

20150802_110736
