Last Saturday, after a fruitless trip to Mt. Vernon (we'll go again another weekend) and a stroll along Gravely Point, we decided to call the Rowe's.
A Little Background: I knew Brooke and Ed Rowe when I lived in Chicago during 8th grade. Back then, they had adopted one little boy named David. They moved to VA not long after we left Chicago. Since then they've moved all over the world: Russia, Ethiopia, Utah, and back. (I think there were more but I don't remember the specifics) When we moved into town, my aunt told me that they had just moved back about a year ago.
They now have 5 kids: David, Connor, Colton, and the twins (Annie and Jessie). They are such a neat family and we've loved having them close again.
Now, back to the story. They just adopted a little labradoodle (labrador X poodle) named Tyson and we wanted to introduce the dogs. The Rowe's had no plans so we made our way out. They have a great backyard complete with a zip-line a fire pit and a river that runs along the back of the property. The dogs had a great time together.
Around 6 we asked Shiloh to build a campfire. We had very good intentions of roasting hot dogs, but simply because it was easier, we ordered pizza.
This is when the evening got a little interesting. Up until this point, the dogs had been getting along pretty well. Now there was food around. Unfortunatly, Adi's agressive side came out when they both went for the same discarded crust. Poor Ty put up a good fight, but ended up with a pretty nice cut under his eye. We felt so bad. Shiloh and Ed just laughed.
It was a lovely evening and the kids had a good time with the fire. Below are some pictures that we took. -- The light was really low and the flash just didn't look good so I'm sorry for the blurry...ness....

Ag shame, that dog is sweet. Peyton had a tussle with Curt's brother's dogs, and we think he wore out his muscles (from playing too much as well). He's having a hard time walking around and jumping. Poor puppies.
