Look what happened...
After some consideration, some donations from the kids (makes it more affordable), they started phase one of the project!
This is turning into a HUGE project that will take a few years to get it to where the kids want it. They want it to encompass at least 5 trees! They worked pretty much all day on Saturday and this is how far they got...
This deck is about 12 feet by 16 feet! The slide is not attached yet, they still have to put the floor on the deck. I just wanted the littler kids to be able to get an idea of what we are doing. It really doesn't look like a tree house yet. The tree house will sit in the back corner, under the trees. They are hoping to get that in as well as an upper deck into the front two trees with a tire swing underneath this year.
They plan to have the slide, a climbing cargo rope on this same side, a trap door underneath into the house. It is amazing at how this project keeps growing and growing! Everyone is pretty excited about it. It is definitely more than just a tree house, it will be a huge playground! They eventually will have lookouts and swings and another bigger slide. I guess this is way more constructive than playing video games!!

What a fun project!!! It sounds like the finished product will be amazing. But working on it together will be great memories for your family.
If the weather ever warms up, we'd love to have you come swim with us sometime.
Isn't summer the best!
