The Mountains are Calling and I must Go

 -John Muir

Masks on, Montana here we come! Jennifer came with us as well; she and Seth were sitting a few rows away and didn't get in on our take off pic.

Well, hello gorgeous. Thanks for the warm welcome.

New fun that was added to the farm this summer.... a dock! Jumping into frigid water versus stepping in one icy step at a time is definitely easier, thus more swimming. And fun (duh).


I think this next pictures shows how clearly I am a Wieferich. My face shape is exactly the same as my cousin Erica's, my brother Eli's, my mom's, and my grandpa Bill's.

 

Time to play with some goats!

These next pictures are further proof that Nolan needs a dog. I looked into golden doodle puppies in the Austin area and was told they are 3k each. Time for plan B! We are definitely going to have to check out some shelters. 


Farm Life! Time to help Momo and Mimi harvest garlic.
This is maybe 1/30th of our final haul.

My favorite crop ever, fresh picked Noey.


Ollie and some of Mimi's flowers. Beautiful!
Cousin time! Playing basketball with Erica's kids
Kayak time


Ollie and Jon went all the way around the island and did some major exploring. They were gone around 2 hours and weathered a major 15 minute down pour. True adventurers.

The old barn is just as sway back as ever, but is holding strong. Its looking like 2020 is not the year it will topple.
Nowhere beats Tamarack for dinner plus the creek for exploring.

Hike up Strawberry Mountain. I'm pretty sure we went farther than last year; next summer we will top it for sure. 

S'more night!
Church Slough, see you next time!
I've decided we are coming back in October, in part to fill this truck up with pumpkins. Cute, right?

I'd say the mountains are still calling....
