OMG!!!  OMG!!! We went on a train ride!!!!!  Here I am am with Tom and Ed who showed us where to park and pick up our tickets they were super nice and handsome!

Here is Dixie and Me and Taj on the train waiting for it to start!!!. OMG!  I am so excited I LOVE trains!  but normally only get to watch them go past at railroad crossings!

This is Carol who stamped our ticket she is holding our yellow ticket and answered questions she was really beautiful and super duper nice!!

The train went along the Pend Oreille River which runs between Washington and Idaho.

Here we are afterwards saying goodbye to the engineer! It was an awesome train ride!

Then on the way home we went to CAT TALES !!!! It is a sanctuary for rescued TIGERS!!!!!!!  They also have other big and small cats and some black bears! This is one of the white TIGERS! He is getting out of his swimming pool!

Look at how handsome he is!! 

Mom let us pick out a picture of one of the TIGERS to bring home the one we picked is named Xena.  Isn’t she beautiful?!

Also I want to report that at work last week there was an Eclipse party!  With donuts!  The eclipse was great here I am wearing my eclipse glasses with Margo and Laurie.

And after work we went to the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall. It was amazing.

At work this week Nancy was visiting!!  She and Andy came to help with some big important network thing with switches and upgrades and IP address changes.  Nancy is so nice and beautiful and Chad who is Mom’s boss is very handsome but not as handsome as me.  Chad is an engineer! But now he runs the IT department. Andy is handsome too but is not in the photo because he had left to get a milkshake YUM!  

Mom says Tigers don’t like milk shakes but we do ! We do!  Here is a picture to prove it.

We had to go to the medical lab and get blood drawn. This is Setareh who took Mom’s blood. Her name means Star!  She was super nice and totally gorgeous!

Then we went for a hike! OMG we saw a moose!!!

Here is the view from the top of Mt. Spokane.  On a clear day you can see Montana and Canada!  Today was hazy and I’m not sure how to tell where Canada is.

When we ate lunch we were mobbed by chipmunks! This one even climbed on my head!  I think people have been feeding them.

We met Rudy and his dog Indiana on the trail.  Indiana was super friendly and Rudy was really nice and handsome but not as handsome as me. Indiana is named after Indiana Jones because they love adventures just like me!  

We went blueberry picking at Piper Farms! They had the best blueberries! The plants were loaded with berries and we had a row all to ourselves to pick.

The is Cindy who owns the farm she is totally gorgeous and also was super nice. We picked five of these baskets. We also bought homemade strawberry jam!  Rowrrrr!

Later while doing errands we stopped to look at a car show and I found a friend!

Today we went for a hike in the Columbia Plateau starting at Amber Lake trailhead. It is a beautiful area. It was cooler today and it even rained in the morning.

We saw deer, and a snake!  and horses, and even some cows they were not wild cows they lived on a ranch we passed. Here are some cool insects we saw!

We went fruit picking again!!!  First we went to Sunset Orchard to pick cherries!  Tigers LOVE cherries we picked Lambert cherries which are delicious!  Here is a picture of me with Bill who owns the farm and was super helpful and also extremely handsome but not quite as handsome as me.  It turns out that his sister is a TIGER Trainer!!!  OMG! Mom says that’s what we need – a Tiger trainer. I don’t know what she means. 

Then we went to Abundance Farm to pick blueberries OMG Tigers love blueberries rorrwrrrr!  Here are some of the awesome blueberry bushes.

This is me with Mark who owns Abundance Farm he was super nice and is also extremely handsome but not as handsome as me. His dog is named Rocket and is amazing!  He greets everyone who comes to pick fruit and loves frisbee and is the ambassador to the farm.  Also Mark was wearing a shirt with a JAGUAR on it!

Later we went to one of my favorite libraries where they usually have fun things for kids to do.  We got to make a dinosaur!!  I colored it with Tiger stripes but it is hard to tell because the paper is green.
