The Fort Across the Way

Since we moved into our house I have thought about building a fort or tree house in the field across our little street. The kids have been too small to climb and play in a tree house... until this year!I also bought a cool teak swing from Ikea about 3-4 years ago to put in a tree . It's not like we don't have any large trees 'cause they are all over the place, just none with a good branch that's not over a retaining wall or over the street.
The kids are on Spring Break this week so we have been setting up shop in the trees. We put up the swing today:Caysen's in heaven when we play out there!! I just love that we have this space to play!Bay like's it too:Here's the aerial view of the tree house, we still need to put a roof and walls but they love the platform we have up so far.Mommy was out getting dirty today too! It's a little hard to swing due to the super long rope and the dodging of the branches and sticks- I can't cut them all back because we want to keep it as secret as possible so the 'bad' pirates can't find us!
