Farah sang in the annual choir competition at Disneyland Friday and Saturday. Her choir scores were all excellent, and they ranked 6th place over all. Farah didn't know how many schools total the competition, but it was a West Coast Division, including schools from California, Nevada, and Utah. We picked Farah up, and made our way to sunny Palm Springs. Sunday afternoon my baby cousin Jeff Helton, his darling wife Haley, and daughters, Alice and Audrey came to visit us. We went to Bill's Pizza for lunch, and Ali and Scott jumped into the pool when we returned. It was great to see them and for them to meet Charlotte. Tuesday afternoon we visited with Great Great Grandma Terrill. We almost had five generations- we were missing Grandma Frances.

I love the primary song "When Grandpa Comes" It's always fun when Grandpa comes, when grandpa comes hooray!  He has a wrinkly, twinkly smile; He’s happy all the day. It's always fun when Grandma comes, when Grandma comes hooray! She always says the kindest things, and in the kindest way...
Charlotte got a visit from her Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Fortner today! We had a nice visit and lunch. Falyn opened Charlotte's gifts which included darling summertime outfits, and a handmade hooded  baby towel from Aunt Heather. What lovely gifts and what a fun day.
