Jonathan & Krista Visit

Jonathan and Krista Johnson, Zack's birth brother and sister came to visit.  Jonathan is 16, and Krista is 15.  They were adopted by a family in Safford, Arizona.  They hadn't seen each other for two years, so they were very excited.  They were also able to spend some time with their other two siblings, Tatum, age 11 and Zac, age 8 at their adoptive family's home in Cedar City.  They were able to do a lot of fun things during the week that they were here.  We enjoyed having them here.



Jonathan and Krista arrive!  We picked them up at the Las Vegas airport

We went on a hike to Kannaraville Falls.  Those who went:  Me (Chantel), Zack Markel, Juan Ochoa (Markel), Tanner Markel, Krista Johnson, Jonathan Johnson, Drake Hafen and Justice Hafen.  It was a great day.

Wow--this is just awesome!! I can't imagine being separated from my sisters and have to think they LOVED spending some time together. You had a few days of foster kids! That hike looks amazing--but a bit scary climbing the waterfall...

What a cute bunch of kids.

This is amazing. So glad they were all able to be together. It makes me cry to think about all they have been through. I can't believe little Zac is already eight. You have been a blessing in all their lives.

Love this picture of you standing in the water. You are the most beautiful of all - and the rest of them are amazing.
