I am a farm girl, married to my high school sweetheart. We grew up on farms 9 miles apart and went through 12 years of school together. I liked him in grade school, but it took until we were Juniors in high school to get him interested in me as more than a friend. I have never lived more than 10 miles from home, except in college, but have travelled as far as France, Germany and Switzerland. We live on our own farm and have raised three of our six kids. The last three are growing up fast.
Daddy promised a tree fort and it is finally done today! It is not exactly a TREE fort, though. The girls are unanimous in the opinion that it is much better than a tree house.
Above: Pictures of the fort in progress. Below: Final touches and some "cooking" activity in the fort.
I always wanted a fort like that(as a matter of fact when we drive in the country and I see those structures my mind starts getting creative!) Do you remember the one with a similar size and shape at Dennis the Menace Park? K. is a good Dad and awesome fort builder!
It took more than a day(!), but it is rather nice. After he got started it evolved. He used treated wood, etc, so it cost a "couple" $$ too, but it should last pretty well. You can check it out on Sat!
WHAT A TREE HOUSE! I didn't show it to the boys, but they will be excited to see it. They will think that their dad should make one too. . . the thing like that here is in the pasture. . . maybe too far off with cows and a bull etc. Well, when you have a couple hours to talk, let me know. I'm sure the boys will love to play at the elevated Swiss Family bin house! -Sheila (via e-mail)

ReplyDeleteThat is the most awesome tree-fort-minus-the-tree I have ever seen. I want one
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible? May I borrow your husband for a day? I have a poured-concrete silo needing creative ideas... LOL
