Merrill Family

.........Night at the County Fair!

Kalicia took this picture of her mommy singing with her

group,

The White Mountain Bells, at the Navajo County Fair.

It was a fun performance!

Then we all jumped on the train ride, while the boys ran to find friends and food.

Charlotte's favorite part was watching Elvis perform!

We could not keep her sitting on her hay bale.

She just kept jumping up and dancing with him and we were in the front row.

In the middle of his performance, he brought her over an Elvis teddy bear.

She loved that!

The boys did find their food and friends!

We all had a fun night at the County Fair.

Charlotte was a "star" in her

1st grade Constitution performance.

Kalicia so badly wants to go to school with her big sister.

She is sitting in envy, watching her sister perform.

Charlotte was so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa Pember come.

She gave them such big hugs!

.....and her best friend, AJ, performed with her.
(Charlotte sure has a sense of humor!)





More trips down to Phoenix to St. Joseph's Hospital,
trying to make the best of it by adding some fun on our quick doctor trips......
We hiked down to the Salt River on a potty break.
The girls thought that was so amazing!
They loved the bridges over the river.

A late night at Chili's Restaraunt in Payson with the girls!

.....after going on a 10 mile hike at Hell's Gate Trail near Payson.

We are practicing for our 24 mile hike, rim to rim in the Grand Canyon next week.

Oh, you should see my blister, ewww!

Can't forget our night out for the Sweet Retreat in our ward.

The women in our ward had a slumber party at a cabin.

(I think my husband is letting me get away to do all these fun things because he is getting ready to go off on a long hunting trip.)(Sylvia, Loraina, Anna)
