The Mike & Julie Tanner Family Blog: December 2008

Summer Fun!

We had a great summer full of traveling, camping, boating, riding motos, reunions and just having fun being together. Marena is a senior and will be heading off to college soon. We needed to make the summer full of family fun.

We decided to splurge and buy a toyhauler (which is a camp trailer that also carries our 4 wheeler and motorcycles) and we had a great time and went camping quite a bit. We also got an older boat and had tons of fun with it. We went boating at Lake Lowell, Horsethief Reservoir and Anderson Ranch Reservoir.

Christmas Tree Hunting!

Our tradition of 12+ years is going with Mike's family to find our Christmas Tree. We love spending time with Grandma Tanner, Gary & Holly, Steve & Karla and all their kids (Steve & Karla had to go back to Utah). Usually we go major sledding but there was just enough snow to have a giant snowball fight and build small snowmen. We found our tree and had tons of fun!

Fun Finding a Tree

We went up to Idaho City to find our tree. We ended up going over Mores Creek Summit and just on the other side. We did find a little bit of snow. We had rolls and hot chocolate and lots of fun.
