We went hiking somewhere new!  Our friend at work Ed told us about a good hike called Hog Canyon ha ha that is a funny name!  There was a beautiful lake! 

We met some great people on the trail who wanted their picture with me. We did not get their names but they were really nice and the women were so beautiful!  The men were handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

We saw so many wildflowers! Yarrow, lupine, larkspur, iris, blanket flower, camas, vetch, daisies, sage, shooting stars, columbine, bitteroot, and so much more!

Here is the waterfall that feeds into the lake!  It is on private land so we could not get very close. It would be nice to have your own waterfall by your house!  We also went to see Fishtrap because every time we pass the highway sign for Fishtrap we say we should go check it out. It is a lake that looks a lot like Hog Canyon Lake except there are a LOT of campers, RV’s, boats and boat trailers there too.  

Also I want to give a shout out to our friend Sharon who left a comment in this blog last week. Sharon always made cookies for mom on her birthday and they were the BEST cookies! We miss you Sharon!  You should come visit us in Spokane.  And bring cookies. Here I am on our front porch looking at the cool cement leaves that Sharon made and gave to us years ago. We still have them!

At work mom ran a software regional user group meeting. It was a virtual meeting since so many people are not able to travel. I like it when we all meet in person because then we have LUNCH and SNACKS.  It is not as interesting without snacks.

We could have had snacks because mom implemented the Snack Bowl for meetings.  She says people are more likely to show up for a meeting if SNACKS are provided. Tigers will always attend a meeting with Snacks. Even when we are not invited.

We have been watching more of the Walking Dead. They are so impractical!  I’ve been saying since the beginning that everyone should have spears with them at all times! Michonne with the sword has the right idea.  I like her a lot. Me and mom also like Daryl he can take care of himself in the wilderness just like a TIGER that is important. Also mom thinks he’s handsome.

Our friend Melissa from Western WA came to visit this weekend!  It was great to see her she is so nice and totally gorgeous!  Here we are with our cat Kosha who we would not have if Melissa had not told us about him at the shelter where we used to all volunteer.  Kosha was on a feeding tube for a long time and then we fostered him after Melissa told us about him and he started eating on his own at our house and then the vet took the feeding tube out and then we adopted him. He is a great cat!

Also we have been doing a lot of gardening. Here are some cool plants that Mom got that have flowers that are like Tiger stripes!  I am wearing my Hello Kitty sunglasses.

When we went to the library yesterday there was a Comic Book Convention going on!!

Auntie Darcy lives near where the volcano Kilauea is erupting!  It is so scary and so exciting!  Luckily Auntie Darcy knows how to stay safe around volcanoes that is her job.  She is a geologist and studies volcanoes. I was not there but I photoshopped myself into this picture for dramatic effect.

Today we went for a hike at the Turnbull Wildlife Refuge.  There were lot of wildflowers!
