We went back to 49 Degrees North today!  Yayyy!  On one run mom took a wrong turn and ended up in the terrain park!  She went over a bunch of jumps but when she got to the really big one she went around it and ended up careening through really deep powder and did a face plant. Ha ha ha ha!  That was hilarious.  She did not let me take a picture of that.

Behind me is Chair 6 which we found out later is one of the fastest chairs on the mountain it really whips around to load and unload and basically tossed mom off at the top of Angel Peak.  Now we call it Evil Chair 6.

It really started raining in the afternoon you can see here how the camera is making foggy spots. Mom says we have enough photos like this anyway.

At the end of the day after we were were thoroughly soggy we went into the lodge for hot chocolate yayyyyy! The satchel is not waterproof and the phone\camera was getting wet.  I am a Tiger I do not mind getting wet. The hot chocolate did not have marshmallows or whipped cream but it was still delicious. When we asked if there was whipped cream the lady in the cafe said that the yurt at the summit had whipped cream for the hot chocolate so I thought we could go back up there but mom said No.                     

Today we did errands and went to an art show. We met Leslie who is totally gorgeous and makes hats from reclaimed materials. They were awesome hats!

Then we went to a train show yayyy!  They had model trains you could watch!  It was great!  I got in free but mom had to pay six dollars. It was totally worth it.

Mostly they were selling all kinds of model train stuff. We looked and looked but did not see anything with tigers. What is up with that?

Also there was an organization there telling about about how to be safe around trains and they let me have this cool coloring book!  It is fun and also educational.

OMG we had the BEST day EVER snowboarding today!  We went to 49 Degrees North and it was a super beautiful day with great views of the mountains.

Conditions were really good and they had lots of fun chutes with lots of trees and we even saw a squirrel carrying a pine cone!  

Here I am riding in the satchel!  It was an awesome day !!

At the end of the day we went into the Alpine Shop and found a pin for me !!!!

Yesterday when we were leaving for work we discovered that the car had a flat tire!  It was not a little bit flat it was completely flat!  Here is the flat tire in the back of the car. Just next to my right ear is the screw that punctured the tire.

Mom got out the spare tire that she says is called a donut and got the flat tire off and the donut put on the car. She FORGOT to take pictures while we changed the tire!  I suggested that we take the flat tire out of the car, jack up the car, take the donut off, put the flat tire back on the car, remove the jack, put the tools back in the car and start all over and take pictures.  Mom said No.

Then we drove real slowly to the Subaru store so they could fix the tire. They had all kinds of refreshments while you wait like POPCORN from a cool popping machine.

We had to wait a long time because of the way the tire was damaged it could not be repaired so we needed to get all new tires. So we got to watch television while we waited! Yayyy!  It was a weird show. It was a lady celebrity who I don’t know who she was and she had guests on her show I don’t know who they were and they kept talking about each other and how good looking they are and a party they went to and I kept waiting for them to do something interesting like bring out a tiger or a moose and they never did. I don’t understand what the show was about. mom say that is why we don’t have television at home. But if we had television at home and we watched all the time we would probably know who all those celebrity people were. Here is a photo of everyone in the waiting area. The chairs were nice and comfy!

All kinds of things have been happening in the neighborhood. Roger from next door injured both his shoulders and cannot do any more snow shoveling this season. So mom has been busy because it has been snowing all weekend. We shoveled Roger’s driveway, Randy’s driveway, and Maggie’s driveway. Maggie’s husband Phil is in the hospital! He has to have surgery on his heart tomorrow!

And today there were moose in the neighborhood!  One moose calf actually came down off the hill and trotted down the street!!!  This photo is looking out our window!

The mother moose is called a cow. She has an injured front leg!  She was holding it up and dragging it in the snow!  Oh no!  Mom and Joni talked on the phone and mom sent an email to our regional office of the state department of wildlife to let them know about it.  Then someone was walking their dog without a leash and the dog was bothering the cow moose and she had to try to run on three legs.  Mom yelled at the lady (the lady and her dog were far away that’s why she had to yell) to secure her dog and she did.  But I was sad after that. Worrying about the moose.  Mom says she is moving around pretty good and is eating so it may turn out ok.

Later we went for a walk in the woods. 

Here is the problem they are knocking down part of the forest to build more houses! And the wild animals like the moose don’t have as much wilderness anymore.

Oh Boy this weekend we went snowboarding at Silver Mountain!!  And this time I did not have to wait in the car mom brought me with her!!!  When we got in the gondola to ride up the mountain they gave us WARM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES OMG!

Here I am at the top of the mountain there was a super view!   And it was a super sunny day. At first. Later it hailed and snowed! 

Here is the Mountain House where they have yummy things to eat or you can bring your own snacks (that’s what we did).

Also  this weekend we went for a hike int he woods near our house and saw lots of animal tracks like this one. I do not think a tiger made this print.

We went to a new library too!  They had lots of fun things for a tiger to do.

On Saturday we went snowboarding at Mt. Spokane!  Well…mom went snowboarding while she left me in the car!!!  She was going to come get me after a while but the road to where the car was parked was very icy so she decided to just LEAVE me there. When she finally came back she brought me a pin for my bandanna!!!!  It says Mt. Spokane!  Also mom made me a new bandana it is a Hello Kitty bandana!  Yayyyyy!

Then on Sunday we went hiking at the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge! 

It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of animal tracks and scat but we did not see very much wildlife.  Some cross country skiers told us they saw some swans but we didn’t.

Mom let me use the camera!  Here is a picture of some frozen water.

Also last week we had lunch at Smacky’s with Margo! I love Margo she lets me help drive.

Oh Boy !  It snowed a ton over the last 30 hours we were snowed in at home!  Good thing it was Saturday!   Mom we spent HOURS shoveling snow. Then our awesome neighbor Roger who was away overnight  drove up and parked in Andrew’s driveway because it was cleared. Mom was very happy to see Roger. Roger got out his snowblower and helped mom us finish up our driveway, then they both went and finished clearing Randy’s property. Randy is in a wheelchair and earlier another neighbor got some of Randy’s driveway done but then it snowed some more. Then Phil and Maggie came out to start on their property and we had a good visit with Maggie she brought mom some good books to read. There was no sign of Gary so Jim snow blowed Gary’s driveway and sidewalk and mom we did part of the sidewalk there too. Then Gary showed up turns out he started on his back deck first. Also Jen’s dog Mo got out and ran up the street!  He was having a great time! He went into Jim’s garage and invited himself in to visit Jim’s dog. Ha ha that was funny. Shannon and his kids were out shoveling snow and he and mom had a long discussion about the state of the world.

Here is a pile of snow in front of our house.

OMG!!!  We made a SNOW TIGER !!!!!!

Here I am with a closeup of the tail you can see we added special touches like tiger STRIPES. It was the best snow day ever! I hope it snows more tomorrow.

Oh Boy!  We had the BEST time this weekend!  We went on a ROAD TRIP!!!

We stopped in Thorp to go to the gigantic fruit stand that is open year round!  They had all kinds of great stuff for sale like ice cream and taffy and espresso.  All those things are exactly what a  Tiger needs in the car on a road trip! 

Here I am outside the store with Margo !!!  We are looking at a horse carriage. Margo is a super good friend and is really funny and totally gorgeous and also lets me help drive which Mom does not do.  Margo is my best friend. She lets me help drive the car.

This is when we were crossing the mighty Columbia River!

Here we are having lunch at a restaurant I LOVE restaurants!!  Margo let me sit at the table and look closely at the lunches. Salads!  I am a carnivore!

We did this road trip so we could pick up the last things at the old house like the lawnmower. Here we are saying goodbye to the house. It was a good house.

Our super awesome neighbor Joni sent photos she took of the moose that was in our yard yesterday!  I think Joni has a better camera than Mom.
