The Fort


This spring, Jeremy cut down a bunch of little trees in our "Back 40." It's the back 1/2 acre of our property that we haven't really done anything with. We're trying to clean it up a bit. Well, he cut down a LOT of little trees.

So, he decided to make the kids a little fort. He spent a few hours here and there this summer cutting logs and nailing them together to make the fort. Elizabeth liked to help bring him the nails. And Nathan helped him pick which logs would go where.

Well, the fort is finished! Jeremy even made a little table and some little stools to go inside and play at. It's a neat little playhouse!

Here are some photos.


The day the fort was finished, they were running laps around the outside of the fort rather than playing inside!


Here's Nathan eating some tomatoes he picked out of the garden. He has really enjoyed being the "tomato picker." Every day, he takes a bowl and goes and picks the tomatoes. He still calls them potatoes though. I think it's easier to say. It's cute!



Here's a view of the fort with a very small person running out of it.

Inside of the fort. Elizabeth is showing off the table and stools Jeremy made.


Little cabin in the woods. Complete with a fire pit!
