Building the tree house

So after spending all night in the ER with Greg, (negative for appendicitis, probably a really bad GI virus, we'll keep an eye on him)Dale and our 5 man pint sized work crew decided to get the tree house started



Alex helping by cutting down a tree that is under the tree house


Dale and the kids had found the spot a few weeks ago


Dale and I getting the first 15 foot floor boards in place...






Looking for the right bolts....


More floor boards in place...after putting up the other one and cutting a few more boards, we called it a day...(not to mention Dale's poor arm muscles needed a break!)

Looks like a great start for the tree house! That's so sad about Greg- at least it turned out not to be appendicitis... Hopefully he gets better soon!

How exciting. Who was taking the pictures?

My guess is that Shawn took some of the pictures. He's getting pretty good. I can't wait to see the tree house. It looks like fun. Will it have an elevator?

It was sad about Greg...he wore his hospital gown under his clothes to school today!! I went in at lunch to check on him and he still wasn't eating, but he was pretty upbeat and acting like Greg....
All the kids were taking pictures...they all love it...I am going to get another camera at some point and give them mine...they were instructed not to get any of me, so pretty much all the pictures had me in them..cute kids aren't they??

What a fun project to do as a family. There really are no trees in Utah, especially where we live, so we definitely will not be having a tree house :(

You will be glad your kids took all those photos of you with them when you are older... at least that's what they say! :)

Cool! They'll love it! In the summer the kids like ours expecially since it has the little kitchen, table, etc., in it.

Y'all should put a zip line on it. Your kids are definetely old enough.
