Ian's vacation...

I just wanted to be sure to tell you all that I had the most fun out of anybody in my family during this little trip... and the proof is in the pictures:



First there was the plane ride to Utah, and if any of you know me, you know that airplanes are one of my favorite things (next to really BIG trucks--more on that later). I went on a plane a few months ago and now my parents get tired of me saying, "Daddy (or Mommy), I'na go-onna pwayne." I don't realize it, but apparently I say it about 178 times every day (my dad said he counted once). Anyway, planes are awesome, and here I am just reviewing the aircraft safety procedures--just to be safe.


After our plane ride we stayed in St. George at my grandparents house. My parents must think I have some sort of fixation disorder, because when I am in a truck I LOVE the truck, when I am in a plane, I LOVE the plane, and when I am in a pool... I LOVE the pool. I could have spent hours in that water... wait, I DID spend hours in the pool. It was a lot of fun! My favorite thing is to jump off the edge of the pool and keep my face under water for as long as I can (just to worry my parents).


Tell you what, though... after a long plane ride and an afternoon in the pool, I was kinda worn out. My parents sat me on my grandma's bed to watch a movie and I couldn't help but fall asleep--I think they set me up for that one.


Well, we made it to Beaver for our little family reunion and it was great fun! I was all over the place visiting James' boat, all of the family cars in the driveway (at least, the ones that were unlocked) and a few of the neighbors cars as well--my favorite is Ray's jeep across the street. It is red and really easy to get into. I even got to sit in a BIG diesel truck for a few minutes, but my dad came and dragged me out of it--I guess everyone was looking for me and he wasn't too happy to find me a block or so away from grandma's and grandpa's house in my bare feet messing with the switches in the diesel cab (the controls were really cool!).

Anyway, my cousins and I had a great time. We sat in a wagon together at Cove Fort, ate cookies, watched a parade, ate cake, threw rocks in a pond, ate strawberries, rode in a canoe, ate brownies, played with toys, ate more cookies, watched movies, ate chips, played games, and ate some ice cream--it was awesome! In fact, we got soooooo dirty that we all had to take a bubble bath together.


In case you couldn't tell, we had a fun time in the bath as well!


There was, however, this one time when we couldn't go outside because it was raining so hard... so we just watched the rain--that was fun too.


Playing with grandpa Foster is always fun. Lucas and I love it when he wrestles with us and tickles us at the same time.


Well, the trip to Beaver was over too soon, but at least we got to squeeze one more trip in to St. George--which, for me, means water and swimming! Man! What a great vacation--I can't wait for the next one!

Oh... one more thing: Thanks, James, for letting me drive your boat while my mom wakeboarded. in was a LOT of fun!

I love that your posts were written from the kid's perspectives. That is way cool. It was so much fun to see you guys. We hope you move back to Utah too! We'll be here waiting.

Hey Foster Family,
So how are you guys doing? I ran across your blog and I thought I would send a note. Hope all is going well for you.

That was really cute. I'm glad Ian had a good time and still got in plenty of trouble. That's Ian! If those are his cousins by him he doesn't look so much like them. Maybe there is some of you in him and not so much Foster.

This is Dad not Janice but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed and always enjoy your BLOG (family History). This will be such a wonderful thing to look back on and read in years to come. I sure hope you are making some kind of "Hard Copy" that can be tucked away. I would love to see Mae and Ian and Noah read it and enjoy the pictures when they learn to read. Keep up the GREAT WORK !!!
