I wanted to write a post about the treehouse that our children built in the front garden...
We have this beautiful tall White Stinkwood Tree in the front garden, perfect for a treehouse, we have tried to build one before but it was rather tiny. Last week our three older children decided it was time... They sat down and designed how it would look, gave Richard and I a shopping list for nails and a couple of recycled pallets and off we went to source the required items during our Saturday morning grocery shopping. They reused planks that we already had and besides the nails, all other materials were recycled.
They built the treehouse on two separate levels, with a rope pulley system to collect goods from the ground and bring them up to the top of the structure. My, they have grown up so fast... they have built something that is strong and sturdy, using their determination and imagination, they are extremely proud of their wonderful treehouse as are Richard and myself. How lovely that they worked together on something from beginning to end as a team, makes me happy...
And that is the story of our treehouse...
