This past weekend Hunter graduated from his one year program at Montana Wilderness School of the Bible. It’s been a fast 9 months.
Abbie and I flew out to Montana and attended the graduation and then we drove home with Hunter in his rig. He will be home for a couple months getting surgery on his wrist + recovery.
We snapped a couple of cool picks of the windmills and farmland on the north central Oregon plateau on the way home.
Their first day of class is actually Jan 1. He and Jack are taking two days to drive back stopping to see Jacks grandparents in Idaho.
Hunter finished the first two weeks of school and as a school they went on a fall backpacking trip for 7 days. Each student could sign up for a 10, 35,45 or 70 mile trip. Can you guess which one Hunter chose? You got it…..he chose the 70 miler.
Here are the pictures of the students and a little write up of the week.
Hunter had his high school graduation Friday evening June 9 from Baker Academy. We went to Bend Burger Company after for dinner. Saturday June 10 we had a graduation party at the house for family and friends.

Happy birthday, Hunter! We love the man you are becoming. We are so proud of you! ❤️
This summer Hunter and his friend Jack want to kayak the rivers when we go rafting. Mark (Jack’s dad) took them to a swimming pond to practice rolling in a controlled environment. This is the skills the boys need to be able to do at will in rough water before they are allowed to do the rivers in a kayak.
The weather has been unseasonably warm the last month. This weekend Hunter and I went to Crater lake to go winter camping. It was spring conditions. Hunter has been investing in backcountry skis and just got some climbing skins so we spent time practicing.
We then headed up and found a camp that allowed us to watch the sunset. While warm in the day it was still getting down to about 21 overnight.
Sunday after getting back to the car we drove up to the crater rim by the hotel (only part of the road open in winter). It was amazing to see the lake with snow.
Hard to believe how fast the time is going by. Hopefully this is the last post from formal lockdown as things are starting to open back up.
The kids did another round of meals for the family!
Date night - take out from El Sancho taco shop
The annual kids walkathon at school this year was virtual so we did a family hike up Black Butte! There was some snow near the top that freaked Kelly out a little.
The school dropped off a graduate sign for hunter and we made sure to follow social distancing for a picture with his friend Nathan
Pictures from August 2019 from Hunter taking a Surf lesson in California. Also first time on an airplane by himself!
We had a birthday dinner for Hunter the evening before and donuts the morning of the 3rd.
