Reunion Fun
A Walk Down Memory Lane by Dean
At the beginning, where a boy and girl each gave their heart.
As time passed, their love did grow and family as well.
With six kids, there's plenty of stories to tell.
Let's take a look at this fun loving group.
Sit back and relax while we give you the scoop.
First there is Jesse, a dairy farmer for most of his life.
Not much time to spare except when it came to his kids and wife.
Back in the day he would spend some time at the old Grange Hall
Cutting loose while showing off his dance moves and having a ball. (McKenna with cow puppet on hand, moved in a dance formation.)
Next is Cindy or Lucy Goosy as some like to call.
She loves most sports and plays a mean game of volleyball.
Mom loves horses and bought one thinking her choice was sound
Until old Dixie reared up and knocked her to the ground. (Eden with horse puppet on her hand)
Elnora or Ellie was the first to leave the nest
She was accepted to BYU and headed out west.
Ellie is a detailed planner we all know this to be true.
There is always something in the works she's trying to get through. (Kate with clipboard and pen)
Elena came next and had a real talent forvriding a horse.
She rode Jazzman all over the field and never fell off of course.
One of her favorite pasttimes was to climb on the roof to tan.
She would lather up with baby oil instead of lotion from a can.
(Meg in her swim suit carrying a bottle of baby oil saying "I look good"!)
Next there was our little tease Nichole, a Tom Boy don't you know.
She wanted to be just like the guys, the shirt was first to go.
Bosie and I ran after a Coyote with only our 22.
Probably not the smartest thing ww did and Nichole lost her shoe.
(Eden with her shirt unbuttoned which she flashed open to reveal a flesh colored tank top underneath)
Then Dean came along andcat last they had their first boy.
It was his right and duty his sisters to annoy.
Nichole tried to do him in, using a pile of manure to seal his fate.
Lucky for Dean Dad heard their screams and pulled him out before it was too late.
(Kate with her face through a cutout in a drawn picture of manure)
David was the second boy in the family to come along.
He ate his carrot while rocking out to a Milli Vanilli song.
David can make anyone laugh being the family joker.
Not sure about that time he and his friends played some strip poker.
(McKenna with a carrot and biting it off on cue)
The runt of the litter is Rachel or some like to call her Flea.
With babies, we all thought it was funny how obsessed she could be. She loved softball and had a knack for playing at such a houng age.
Rachel gave it her all and enjoyed playing on the big stage.
(Meg with her arms full of baby dolls)
Of course, our family continues to grow through many additions.
And even though we may live apart and have our own traditions
We have a love and special bond that is very strong to this day.
Noe this is where I drop the mike and that's all I have to say!
(They bring out a poster made by Kate with everyone's name of the Merrill family including our newest additions: Jesse, Adalae and Levi)!
