Pure magic and love.....looks absolutely perfect.
Quite possibly my favorite place on earth. {At the very least, it's in my top 3.} So many emotions and memories tied to idyllic Wildwood and the brown cabin. Loved the photos, and the notion that your soul is there even when you can't be. Me too. :)
love that place.
I love your Wildwood. I WANT TO GO THERE NOW!!! What a fantastic place to be able to return to year after year. You are so lucky Annie. The kids look to be having a great time. Thanks for sharing your magical place.
Church under the trees? Sign me up, sister. How about this Sunday?
Looks so idyllic. What a way to be able to share it all with your kids.
I am completely smitten by Wildwood. I especially love the German carving over the fireplace.
And now that I know your maiden name we have to play the "do you know?" game. I'll be emailing you. :)
wow. simply beautiful. what a retreat. am loving your extra large photo format. way to make the most of the summer moments.
What a perfect place! Love all your pictures.
you've got some great shots there. you could probably put together a great tourist brochure now... which apparently many of your blogging friends would be highly interested in.
Beautiful photos of our hearts' home. Loved being there with you. Gma and Gpa Paxman provided a magical place for us. And church in the "chapel of the Box Elders" as Bro. Ellsworth used to say - it is the best chapel on earth. No Sunday Showcase, just simple worship under god's trees.
Wow. Where is this? Looks amazing and fun.
