It was Father Tyler's first baptism since he has been at St. Patrick. He was just ordained in May.
On the 4th we walked up the street to the VA to watch the firework display. The next day we made our way to Montana. We took a break for lunch in Spokane and had lunch with my friends Karen, David and there not so much a baby anymore Kaelyn. We arrived in Missoula that evening and played a shortened round of golf at Linda Vista. Only 5 of the 9 holes were open due to flooding. The mosquitos were out with a vengance! The bite marks are just now starting to go away and it's been two weeks. The next day we continued east to Lewistown, MT. We visited with Lois and Bing on their farm and they put us up in the camper they won. (It was pretty nice!) That evening we stopped in to see Aaron's Grandma Wichman. She had a neat assortment of family photos and cards in her room and was very excited to have company. It had been about 10 years since Aaron had seen her, but she still remembered him. The next day Bing took us on a tour of the farm and seed plant. It's amazing how much tractors have changed. They come fully loaded with GPS now! We also stopped in for another visit with Grandma Wichman before heading south to Billings to see Kristin. The following day it was back to Missoula to get ready for the Missoula Half Marathon. We stopped off in Bozeman to get some Bobcat gear on the way back.
My friend Jenny drove up from Utah to run the race with me. It was fun and the community was very supportive of the runners. Here are some shots from race day.
The next day it was back home so Aaron could get geared up for a project he has going at Detroit Lake, OR.
