tree house

just one of my recycling message cards................... sharing some (actually lots) of photos from one of the past weekends we were here. the tree house was finally opened. the boys LOVED it. climbing, exploring & getting wet. here is this running water creek kids can step into with lots of rocks and such. we didn't know that there was going to be water involved in this TREE HOUSE area. brandon didn't even ask, he sorta just sat & started taking off his shoes & socks. when 1 does that, the other is sure to follow!
brandon ready to take off his shirt too

surf moves from branbranpicking up a rock or two

bryan feeling rocks with his tootsies

in this other area, they had musical instruments. see the background? if you tap each pipe of varying heights with your palm, it makes different sounds. very cool!

daddy trying his hand at a tune. and brandon was whacking those like a pinata!
giant adirondack chairs. brandon is hamming it up in the back

we need one of these in our backyard!


the slant makes it hard for the kids to get off!

view of the beautiful treehouse.

this is the kid's garden area of the tree house. it's an edible garden!

brandon trying to lift it up!
a little maze. brandon found his way out. bryan in the background running AND cheating. notice how he just (tramples and) cuts through the trail?

I swear every awesome place to go to that you show in San Diego, makes us want to go there all the more. We are currently saving money for a big trip, we just don't know if it will be Orlando or San Diego first. The boys look like they had a lot of fun. I got the papers you cut for me yesterday, Thank You. I will do your's this weekend.

Love all the photos! You guys really do go to the most fun places and the boys always seem to enjoy it! Now I wouldn't mind having one of those adirondack chairs, don't know where I'd put it though!

Hi Ivy, looks like the boys really enjoyed themselves! Congrats on making the DT. We're planning on going to Universal Studio during the week of Aug. 3rd, but have not booked hotel yet, hubby is doing the research at home. : )
