On a tree stump in front of the cabin there is a Rock Family. The Wild Child painted them this past summer, and they greet each and every visitor with the same exuberance as the Wild Child would if she were here. They are very comforting to look at now that the family has all gone home and there will be no more visitors at the cabin until next spring.

Hi,
I love it.
Thanks Mags – happy little family, aren’t they!
They are beautiful…and oddly comforting.
Hi k8edid – The Wild Child did a wonderful job!
What more can I say. I love them, Now I’ve got to look more to see who the “Wild Child” is….
Hi Mike – While you are welcome to browse my blog, I don’t think there is much information about the Wild Child. She is my youngest grandchild, the only girl – the rest of the grandchildren are boys. She is a handful… just like her mother was!
The Wild Child has talent. Please continue to encourage painting and drawing skills. Love them!
Hi Joy – The Wild Child loves to draw and color. A piece of paper is often not big enough for her, so many of drawings spill onto the nearest work surface. The dining table at the cabin is often quite colorful when she has finished up a session with her crayons!
I’m comforted just by staring at them on my screen. Especially the one in front that looks like he’s wearing a tuxedo.
Hi BRC – Moustaches and party hats too!
The Mother of the Wild Child here….the Father of the Wild Child says that she was incredibly bored that day. He had a sharpie in his backpack and said “here go decorate some rocks”. And they kept coming until this family was complete!

Hi Christie – The Rock Family is sitting on the stump, right where The Wild Child left them. We’ll see how durable the sharpie ink is after a year of weather!
Remember “Pet Rocks?” I like yours much better!
Hi Lorna – Yes, I remember Pet Rocks, though I never owned one… though now I guess you could say we have a family of them!
She is absolutely creatively! She must be a happy kid. It made me smile. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Amy – Yes, she can be very happy… and she can be a terror. I suppose those are both traits of a creative person.
They are such fun!! What a happy happy family. How perfect!!!
Thanks Marcie!
How very creative! You know, I’ve painted flowers on rocks before with acrylic, then spray-painted them with clear spray paint from a can…If you sprayed these with clear paint like that the family would last for years
Thanks Neeks – if the felt pen on the rocks survives the winter, I’ll spray them in the spring!
Do a couple of coats, let them dry well in-between.
I love that rock family. I think my kids would love doing this.
Hi Good Greatsby – It’s a pretty simple way to keep the kids creatively busy!
I totally love your rock family. You are a delight, my friend. Thanks for the giggle.
Hi EC – Glad you enjoyed the creativity of the rock family. I enjoyed your Pumpkin Spider!
