Tiger Mountain







Today me, Anna, Emilie, Hanna, Lena and another German au pair went on a hike! The weather was perfect today as well so we really wanted to make use to the weather and it was a long time ago since we were on a hike so it was definitely a great timing.
We went to Issaquah, where they have a lot of nice mountains and the nature is stunning, to the Tiger Mountain. The hiking guide described it like this: there is not much to see. It doesn't have any waterfalls or rivers but. No special wild life or fauna but hey, it's a hill and it's close. That's so funny ;)
The hike was 3 miles one way but it was up the whole way so it was exhausting! We needed a lot of water brakes before we reached the top. The new girl, Laura, suffered from a chlorine poisoning so she needed to walk a bit slower and stop more often but it was no problem so I walked with her while the others continued to the top.
Laura was really nice and we talked about everything and we realized that we both were big and crazy Twilight fans. So we had a lot to talk about while we were reaching to the top ;)
The view were not that good cause there were a lot of threes in the way but at some places U could see the valley and the mountains and it was really beautiful.
At the top we ate our snack and just relaxed and enjoyed the heat and view. Anna started to feed the birds and finally they ate right out of her hand ;) She was really excited about this and soon all the people on the top tried to do the same ;) Crazy!
The way back down was not that exhausting but kind of hard for the knees that had to brake the whole way down so it was really nice when we reached the car.
We stopped at the donut place and this time I had a ice cream instead, with strawberries. Jummie!
Back home, I took a little power nap to have the energy to play today's soccer game ;)
Some of the girls came to support me, that was nice but they left in the second half cause it was too cold. Talk about real supporters ;)
The game was never really exciting. We won with 4-0 and in the end there were not much movement and we were only on their half. I played in the defence so I was just waiting for the signal so we could go home. It was a boring game.
Back home, I had a good dinner and now we are watching Sweden vs Finland ice hockey. We are eating some good nachos and drinking tea ad the game is exciting so it's a great finish of a great and active weekend. I think I'm gonna be really tired tomorrow but what a hell, U only live once right?

Miss U all!
Love Sandra.
