Gary and Sharlene Merrill Reunion 2011 @ Big Lake

Well, it started at Big Lake, until sadly to say the Wallow Fire took over......

We were forced to move......Blockades went up....

It burned even thousands of more acres and we were camping at the field of the breaking point.

On the move for the 2nd time......

the third time....

and then the 4th time!  Wow, what a sad event!

My kids loved playing in the dry dusty dirt....

Brodee was so brave and actually jumped into a nasty pond, from a low cliff to save Krew's fishing pole.

Zach jumped in to save Brodee.

The two HEROES of our Camp!

Dad, can cook......  trying to look tough for the picture.

Charlotte is such a great helper with her little sister, Caroline.

Slumber Party in the 5th Wheel

Fun Activities and Hanging out with cousins........

We ended up only camping 20 miles up Pinedale road.  So by the time we had to clean up camp for the 4th time.  Loren had me get ahead start and take the girls home in the Ranger while he cleaned up camp.  It was a fun ride home!!!

 By the time Loren (Daddy) made it home.......   The girls were cleaned up and in bed!
They loved the Bubble Bath. 
We got a little out of control with the bubbles, but they were dirty and they loved it!!!!
