Gibby Family Camp out June 2011 It is a very rare opportinity to have all of marks family together. We were excited to learn all of them could make it for the yearly family camp out. We went to Big Springs camp ground near Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. Picture of Mark and all five of his Siblings with mom and dad ( bottom) from left to right Bryan, Mark, Dale, Darren, Kristen, Scott. Oddly enough they put themselves in birth order.

It was so cold up there. At first it was sunny and nice. That lasted about an hour before the rain clouds became our contast companion. We began to paint our family shirts as the wind started blowing. It was almost imposible to paint in the wind.

Sariah found snow with molly, that was how cold it was the snow had not melted yet!

It was intersing trying to cook in the wind. The camp chef's kept going out. Dinner was mmm yummy if i do say so. (I cooked B.Q mixed meat, and cheesy hashbrowns) Some hid out in Bryan hauling trailer tell the wind and rain was barable.

The kids hid out in a trailer, scott brought, watching movies to stay warm.

We had one hour of luck without wind or poring rain. We were finally able to light a fire at the fire pit. We played minute to win it games. Like the Cookie game her. Parker is trying to inch his cookie across his face without using his hands to get into his mouth.

Here is Meg trying to get her cookie into her mouth.

We also sang songs and did skits. Our good weather did not last. Soon we were all hundled under the pavillion or in tralers again.

We ended up packing up the next day! It was to cold and rainy. Our two day camp became one day. We all went back to home my place for a warm sunny dinner.
