Day 14

Day 14: 5/31/15 (Missoula)

15 miles

We woke up around 8am to the smell of a breakfast smorgasbord being made. We had huckleberry pancakes with bacon, sausage, and mixed berries – sooo good. The kids were as lively as ever running inside and outside back and forth to the basketball court. After a few FIFA matches between Rico and Isaac, we all went folfing (disc golfing).  Jillian was happy to be playing with the kids since she is the farthest thing from a pro when it comes to folfing and usually eats everyone’s dust.  The kids really don’t hold back though so she was still struggling to keep up.  With all the surrounding mountains in Montana, the course wasn’t lacking any natural obstacles.  On the very last hole, Rico’s disc went over the edge, rolled down the hill, and fell into the creek.  The kids helped to spot where the disc was and then Rico used the GoPro stick to successfully fish it out. 

Once we were all back at the house, we planned some meals for the rest of the week so we could go grocery shopping to pick up all the ingredients.  We decided to cook two meals during our stay: an Italian night with bruschetta and carbonara and a BBQ night.  For dinner we walked over to The Ranch Club to grab a bite.  The waitress was a little slow/nonexistent, but eventually we were all fed.  We were happy to be out somewhere where we could try more local beers. 

Fact:

If you’re a new waitress, you should tell your guests because otherwise we think you suck

Lesson:

Don’t try too hard at folfing, unless you’re prepared to spend your day searching for your disc

Eat Well; Travel Often
