The Fort

This weekend we were gifted the most wonderful gift ever, a fort for our backyard!  A good friend of mine from church offered it to us since her boys were just a little too big to play on it anymore.  It was lots of fun to move (which by the way, a huge thanks to our great friends!), but Garrett documented it well with the help of my camera.

*Disclaimer* Most pictures were taken by Garrett or Tripp.  Apparently they have a thing for taking pictures of peoples bottoms.  I tried to edit them as much as possible.

Not sure what this is...

I love his face!

This must be where Tripp took over

Trying it out

Little man couldn't quite make it, so dad added a step for him to get up later.

The boys and their dad spent most of the weekend putting their own touch on it, and while it does look a lot like a hunting lodge, it has already been used as a batcave, the fortress of solitude, a fire station, and a place to escape a white leopard (our dog Hank.)
