This year we decided we're going to make it happen, at least to some extent. We might have to finish some of in next year, we'll see how things go.
Jason's been working up plans and we've been talking about what we want in a fort, like where it's going to be, how big, what features......it's really fun to plan things out together, at least most of the time.
This week it was actually sunny for a good part of it, so we got to work cleaning the area out a bit and Jason started digging some areas to eventually level things since we are on a nice hill. The boys were outside most of the time and even stood still long enough for me to take some pictures. This is the spot we've chosen, next to 'The Wall' and hopefully within the next 3-4 months we'll have something standing there. They are very excited to say the least. We love a good project.
I love this picture because of the way Max is looking at his brother. I love that sweet smile.
Then Max didn't want any more of it and Levi tried his best to keep it together and prevent Max from leaving and freaking out too much. I love that kid.
Time to dig!!!
So this is the first step of what we have planned (without the 'house' part). It's changed already so there won't be a cut out section on the deck area, but the ladder and slide will be on one side. Also this thing is going to be BIG, wouldn't want it any other way. The way I figure, if your going to do it might as well make it the way you want. I wanted it tall (7 feet from ground to top) so adults, like my 6"2 husband and my even taller brothers can go underneath and there is no head bumping. Also so far dimensions are 10x10 (or maybe we changed it to 10x12.....I forgot). But I wanted the inside 'house' to be big enough for not only the two boys, who are growing by the day, if they wanted to sleep there, but if we had more or wanted to have friends over there would be enough space.
