The Family Blackrock

Today's Sunday Family Fun was a hike up to the woods near The Plantation so A. and Cubby could scout out a site to build a permanent lean-to for camping. A. requested that Charlie and I also go on this scouting expedition. Just before we left, I asked the MiL to take a picture of us. You know, so we would have more than the one photo of the four of us together.

Literally. This is the second picture ever taken of the entire family. And wow, is it ever a treasure.

You want a representative photo of what the Family Blackrock is really like?


Yeah. 

Cubby is carrying his very own hatchet, with a locust-wood handle lovingly carved for him by his father. I'm featuring my Summer Hair, with full-on frizz. A. is his usual bearded mountain-man self, with the addition of an infant strapped to him in the famous pack. And Charlie . . . well, Charlie just looks kind of dazed. Or maybe worried. 

Not that I blame him if he IS worried. I mean, look at the family he found himself a part of. I'd be worried too.

Everything looks so green and inviting. Too bad y'all weren't standing in front of the garden so we would have gotten a two for one - family + awesome garden. Next time, right?
