Hiking in the Great Northwest

Today, we awoke to sunny skies. I took the kids for a hike up on Tiger Mountain. We hiked four miles up the mountain and then around the lake. The skies clouded up and sprinkles began to fall.

On the way down, we stopped at the Salmon Hatchery. The only fish we saw were rainbow trout! The Chinook haven't arrived yet.

By the time we got home, it was full on pouring! You've gotta love hiking in the northwest!

I went swimming this afternoon and when I came out, it was still pouring. I took Ari to the movies, and when we came out it was still pouring. It looks like October around here. My poor soggy tomatoes!
