The Rogers' River-Rat Retreat

We loaded the babies up and headed down to "Uncle George's Cabin" on the Greenbrier River for the Fourth of July. It was the babies' first trip to this location. We added our five to the 34 that were already gathered and then spent the day roaming, splashing, eating, sitting, sleeping, and fussing. It was a good day...not that different from any other day with the exception of the surroundings.
Here's the "whole family" in the river (as if you couldn't tell, Eve has been superimposed into this photo...she was not a fan of the cold water). Here is the aforementioned cabin. There's not much to it, but it has served as home-base for many of these Rogers' Family gatherings over the years.Here's Jonah hanging out with Uncle David.Eve wanted to roam and roam and roam some more all day long. Here, Aunt Christina is hot on her trail making sure that no trouble befalls her. Here is Cate and Aunt Lee playing with a slinky.
Here is Winston, once again relegated to his crate because there were just too many places for him to get lost.
Eve was uncharacteristically reticent when placed aboard the vessel. Meanwhile, Cate was steady at the navigator's post.
Our Babies Three
Cate was helping Gramma blow bubbles while Grandad looked on.
I give you "Tent City." Why all the tents with such a magnificent structure so close by? You'll have to come and find out why.
