The last big branch of the tree came down on Saturday. A portion of the fence came down under it, but this post is not about that.
The kids have really been enjoying the cooler weather combined with the instant fortress created by huge tree limbs resting on the ground. They have even used the broken boards from the fence to nail benches onto the branches.
It seems Joseph has claimed this wing of the tree fort as his own. He went out to read there this evening. He is nearly in heaven!
Unfortunately, he got a late start out there today because I didn't get home to stay until after 5 pm. So he didn't really get to do much reading. They aren't allowed out there if I'm not home. :( I want to be around if someone decides to have the first official broken bone in the family!
Tomorrow is a new day for tree forts...as long as it doesn't rain.
It is ironic when we spend money on kid toys when the kids are more fascinated with yard debris.
