Here are my sons’ ideas for a back yard tree house:
or like this
Here’s what my husband was planning:
We recently took our rickety 5 year old play set down. (5 years and it’s done… like a washed up
toddler with a tiara.) It took a solid
weekend to build that thing and all of two hours to erase its existence from
the yard. It just doesn’t seem fair… We saved the lumber from it and right now it’s
all sitting in a too large scrap lumber pile in our back yard.
We’ll see whose ideas win out on this one. I’m hoping for a combination of the two, even
though seeing the boys’ ideas come to fruition would be incredibly awesome. However, if the Toys R Us set took a solid
Friday night through Sunday night to build, their specifications for the new
tree house would probably take until their college years. We probably shouldn’t have read Swiss
Family Robinson or shown them the movie before doing this…
Please wish us luck…
