Welcome to Vernal

Since Josh had an interview at the U we decided to make a quick trip to Vernal.  We had not been there for far too long and missed the family.  It is always so much fun and we always feel extremely welcome by the Merrells.  We stayed with Josh's Aunt Lynnette and Uncle Jerry.  They were so sweet to us and especially Evelyn.  She had a great time playing and cuddling with Lynnette.  One night we were playing cards with Kyle and Amber Evelyn started crying.  Normally we just let her cry it out and she falls back to sleep within a few minutes, but it was too much for Lynnette.  She rushed up there and scooped her up.  Evelyn was one lucky lady.  While we were there we had a great time bowling at the Allred family reunion and making 40 pounds of mashed potatoes for the ward christmas party.  It was even fun to shoot my first gun.  I was so scared but Kyle did a great job helping me with each shot.  I even shot a clay pigeon on my first time.  On top of all that Josh got to go Pheasant hunting with Kyle and Amber.  They were able to shoot and bring it home.  Jerry then cooked it up into a delicious meal.  All in all it was a great weekend full of family...just how I like it.
