The kids (specifically Katie and Mags) have been asking Dad for a few years now for a clubhouse. Any given Saturday you could walk outside and find a wagon, stroller and cardboard box draped with an old comforter and sheet-complete with a cardboard sign that usually read "NO BOYS." So after seeing how eager the kids were to have a little "place of their own" and getting fed up with never being able to find my scissors or the tape or any kind of marker, we decided that they could really use a tree house/clubhouse. And what I mean by that, is that we tossed around ideas of a little platform stuck up in a tree with a ladder going up to it......
But here is what came instead........you know, a little platform, stuck
near a tree, with a roof over it and a front porch, with 2 windows and a door, up 7 foot in the air from 6 telephone poles, completely sided with tin....a place for the kids to call "their own"
Building the floor...that is Brian on the right and his uncle Jack(the brains behind this undertaking)
Taking a break...well everyone but Jack(that guy is amazing!!) On the ground is Brian, Dan and Grandpa Rose.
Jack anchoring on the roof...thank goodness for Jack's amazing carpenter skills and his big heart to donate his time on our "little" project!!

Oh my.....that is ONE BIG CLUBHOUSE!!!! I say that is plenty big enough for Bunco, and of course for the kids to play too. LOL. There will be many memories made in that clubhouse by your kids...very cool.
