Mer's Dance Recital

Mer had been taking dance lessons once a week since January. Because she started later, she was feeling a little behind, so she started taking private lessons once a week also. Oh my... those lessons really paid off! She looked fantastic on stage!

Her expressions, her smile, her moves... she looked like she was having SO much fun. It made it fun to watch!

It was pretty special that we also got to see Johnna and Natalie dance.

Mer Mer loved that Gramma came to watch, and brought her flowers!

Mer loved her dance teacher, MaKayla.

First Summer Camping Trip

Such a fun way to kick off the summer!

Our new trailer! We decided to upgrade... the girls were growing out of their beds!

Merilyn decided that it was time for the training wheels to come off of her bike. So, on our camping trip to Champoeg Park, she left the training wheels at home and just brought her bike. Daddy ran beside her for a bit - (not too long, actually!) and she had it! Then, all she wanted was to ride her bike around and around the campground.

Gramma and Alison had an art lesson while Mer and Daddy zipped around the campground.

In order to keep up with Merilyn, Trav decided to jump on Ali's scooter. 

It was such a nice camping trip. Beautiful weather and lots of walks. Trav loved hiking along where the old settlement & the streets used to be.
