Gary & Sharlene Merrill: Big Lake...and other parts....of our Reunion....ended up at Pinedale....fun anyway. but no fishing.

This a picture taken at Big Lake....you can see the fire smoke in the background....it was 18 miles away.

This is the third place we camped....at 117 FS RD. close to Cortaro Lake.....we thought we would be safe. No we had to pack up and leave on Friday.....

Anna and Satya were having a good conversation, some of the Children got to get in with Grandma and Grandpa

Capri, Brodee and Kalicia got to ride to Show Low with us....

Anna and Loren made a quick trip to the Dr. office for Kalicia and Charlotte....Kalicia has a blister on her eye...and Charlotte got her ear checked.....they told the Dr. all about the fire and how we had to move so many times.

We we all so excited to have Rachelle, Aaron, Zach, Angelene, Krew and Kashlynn show up....

Kalicia loves to ride the quad....she got going a little too fast down the hill and her daddy had to help her get going again.

We played a game that was like sherades.....Rachelle is helping Halee....Glenn waiting for his turn.

The children all enjoyed playing ball.....It was Dayson's Birthday on Friday....he and DeLona are both 39 now. He had to work because of the fire...so we celebrated without him.
