Summer Time Adventures

WOW! What a busy summer the Fosters have had this year! Rosie and Thomas both had birthdays and again on the same day this year! Go figure! Rosie had some friends over to a little party while Thomas simply hid out and tried to forget about turning 30! Over all it was a good day. Tony and Thomas along with a few others attended a buffalo wing extravaganza that they where invited to where dozen of BBQ cooks spent time cooking all types of wings, wing sauces, and a few other BBQ favorites. Needless to say there are plans for Thomas and Tony to participate in the event next year.
Fourth of July this year was spent in Melba at the Ole' Time Fourth of July Celebration. Complete with Tractor pulling contest and a chicken round-up for the kids. Rosie participated and did in fact catch a chicken, which she got to keep(it now resides at Neil & Holly Hunters chicken coup). The fireworks were the best we have seen in very long time and overall we had a very fun and long day.
I few weeks later we set out on our next adventure to the Oregon coast. This was the Foster reunion which really desires a blog on its own so I will not indulge to much in this one. We as a family left a few days earlier and spent some time visiting water falls, picking fresh blueberries at a berry farm, and visiting the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) in Portland. We also spent time at the Portland Temple and read scriptures on the Temple grounds as a Family. Before leaving for the coast we also visited the Oregon Zoo and had a great time learning about all kinds of animals. The highlight was without a doubt the Polar Bear as we got to see two of them up close! THEY ARE HUGE!!!
Our next adventure was the Roundy Family reunion which was spent in town this year. Thomas a Melissa got tickets to see Katie Roundy (sister in law) star as Ado Annie in the musical play Oklahoma. She was definitley the star in that production. The kids spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Roundy and had tons of fun playing games together with their cousins. The next day the whole family spent time playing games and visiting with each other.
The final trip this summer was to Bear Lake for the annual Hunter Reunion or rebellion as some like to call it. Grace is potty training (yes already and we are excited by her progress!) so it took us for ever to get there but we had fun none the less. The Labor day weekend was filled with swimming, playing games, and various other activities. We had tons of fun despite the rainy Sunday evening and wet beds. More in this whole trip in an other blog as well.
So that in a nut shell was our summer adventures aside from a few fishing trips which I am sure Thomas will be posting soon since he and his little man always have fun adventures. We will try to keep up with this more often now since it seems there is more interest from family to know our goings on.
