The Wilds in Pictures (and captions)



The whole family.

Josh and Noah on the paddle boats

Love this view between the shoulders of my two favorite guys.


Mom and Dad Rowley

Matt, Melanie, and their family.


Matt and Jen with Titus. Brianne is on the back. Trust me. :)


Joel and Hannah with Lauren. This was as close as I could get in the boat!


You know these folks!


Headed to the top of the creek for a tube ride. Don't we make quite the sight?

The water was FREEZING. If you see people in crazy positions on their tubes, it is likely because they were trying to avoid the numbing cold. :) It was actually very funny to be there in person.

Crazy position illustrated. :)


And again.

The kids didn't mind the cold water!

Trying to avoid a log-jam

What's a trip to camp without a campfire?

And a fun family game of volleyball

What a fantastic week!

Glad you had a great time! I wouldn't have thought of adults doing crafts at camp, but then again that was a part of MOPS (and hence the reason I'm not still in MOPS as I'm not into crafts).

Thanks so much for this post! I haven't had a chance to look through the pictures, and these pictures are great! We had such a great time, and can't wait to do it again next year!

Tonight We Babysat Brianne

Image
How's that for a title? Very creative, I know. Let me know if you ever need me to come up with a witticism for you. Totally kidding here! :) Matt and Jen went out on their monthly Date Night, so we got a chance to have Brianne over for the evening. What fun! They don't really play with each other, just near each other. Hopefully that will change. Bathtime! This cracks me up. Brianne dive-bombed a rubber duck! Who knows what Noah is doing. :) So cheesy, this kid! She really, really wanted my camera. So the whole evening went well. Josh helped out, which was unexpected and wonderful. :) After her bath, Brianne was crying (I think she got cold) and I gave her to Josh while I finished up with Noah. Once we got her warmed up, she was fine. She is such a sweetheart, and we look forward to next month when we get her again for an evening. Oh, and we're so looking forward to our own date night to take place later this month! Somehow I think Matt and Jen are get...

365 Project, week 4

Image
A pretty normal week for us again!  We had lots of everyday moments in preparation for an out-of-the-ordinary week to come.  Here's how it looked:   Daddy time in the evening often involves an episode of Bonanza.  Little Joe is a favorite around here! Bath time for Seth.  Maybe it's because he's my second child, but I do not have anywhere near the amount of baby gear I had with Noah.  Baby bathtub? Nowhere in sight.  It's Kitchen Sink City for us!  For this reason, you may not see an actual bath picture, because it takes all my hands to hold on to Seth in the sink.  If I ever have a helper, we may see good future blackmail bath time photos. :) One afternoon Noah and I took his after-school snack to the dock.  Handi-snacks, anyone?  I, for one, love that they still come with the little red stick for spreading, just like when I was his age! Cowboys are his favorite these days.  What're YOU lookin' at...

My Gunniwolf

Image
If you've never read it before, The Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper is a great children's story!  You get fantastic onomatopoeia ( what?!   that means words that sound like the noises they describe), beautiful illustrations, and an object lesson in obedience to boot.  PLUS, the kids I know seem to love it.  Bonus. Noah's school put on a literacy parade today, in which the children could dress up as a character from a favorite book. (If you ask me, it was just a chance to let the kids try out their Halloween costumes early. But still.)  Noah immediately wanted to be the Gunniwolf.  Knowing that any wolf costume I could find in the stores would come with a horrible scary face and be at least $10, we made his out of felt and glue for $3.25 with a much friendlier face. So, I have a little wolf on my hands.  And next Wednesday, our church's Patch the Pirate Club will be hosting a Noah's Ark party, where the kids can come dressed as any animal th...
