Russ can build a tree fort in our yard....

Russell has been talking about building a tree house for a couple of months and yesterday he started.

Here is the platform. It will have an little enclosed house up there eventually. This is only phase one.


Here are Russ and Eliza on top. Eliza had to wear that shirt yesterday, because that was her work shirt.


Jack was Dad's number one helper. He kept taking the tools out of Russell's tool belt and hiding them around the yard.



Jack loved being outside all day and being a part of the action. By the end of the day he had climbed the ladder to the top all by himself. He didn't want to miss out on anything.




It took Russ all day yesterday to build it to this point. He is such a hard worker and he loves to make things fun for the kids.

That is so cool! I am officially jealous that you get a treehouse. If only we had a tree to build one in :-)

I love that you guys go on so many adventures with your kids. At home or traveling, you're always filling their lives with FUN! I hope I can hop the fence and climb up there some time, looks like a blast!
