The Merrill Multi-Month Update

Wow, where does the time go!! I have not posted anything for the Merrill family since before Halloween. UGH! I am going to attempt to catch up, so I apologize for the length of this blog entry ... get ready for A LOT of Merrill pics (hope you enjoy!)

We will begin with Madison's video entry for Reflections this year. The theme this year is "Wow!". Madison wrote an original story and then we made this entry for the Storytelling portion of the contest. As of today, she has won at the school level and the district level. Her entry will now go to a regional level (against Logan, Cache and Bear Lake school districts). I am definately not a video expert, so she had to do it all in one shot ... and here it is.

For Thanksgiving this year we went to the new cabin in Island Park. It was so beautiful ... and fun!

Going for a nature walk. IMAX Theater!For a fun story, ask Mark about the "Road Trip". Now for DECEMBER!!!
