the merrifield reunion

Over the 4th of July weekend, we were in Idaho.  With my WHOLE family!  It's kind of a rare thing for the Merrifields to all be together at the exact same time, but it happened.  And it was wonderful.  We have a lot of fun together.  Like any other family, we eat too much, laugh too hard, and stay up too late.  We also have a thing for laying out and playing in water.  And this year we added a few new traditions - a family talent show and an Olympics - both of which were great.

And I'm pretty sure Porter loved all of the attention he got.  All of the adults hugged and played with him, and the kids let him point at and touch them.  He calls all other kids, "babies"

at the talent show we had little bags of popcorn - Porter ate the leftovers in every bag!
and we discovered he can eat watermelon on his own!
