Cousins Club

This weekend we have been working on the Cousins Club the hottest thing to hit Grandpa and Grandma's house since the art gallery. At least we hope so. What's the Cousins Club you may ask well it's the new tree house or at least tree house in progress. We are hoping to finish it up sometime in Sept. maybe over labor day, so maybe all the fam should plan to come down or something. Landon finally got the base up and secure thanks to a little help from your Dave I was a little nervous with both of them in the tree but there were no mishaps, besides a slight bump on the head to both of them at one point. (I wasn't able to get a picture of this moment because I was driving the 4 wheeler which was hoisting the base up into the tree) The ladder is also done, but there are a few things that have to be finished before the kids can be turned loose in it. Some walls for one, a little bit of improvement to the ladder,a roof, and a bucket and pulley system. Chloe wants some windows and Tanner would like to add some monkey bars. We decided now would be a good time to build it because there was a lot of good wood to use that came off Grandmas house from the remodel. There was even a kitchen sink up for grabs that Chloe was really wishing we could add in. I think it will be fun for the cousins. Chloe and Tanner thought the name the cousins club would be fitting and they painted the sign for it with just a little help from mom. All the kids had to have a turn hammering the stairs on the ladder, Landon was pretty patient about it and nobody hit their fingers.

The tree house looks like a lot of fun. What fun parents to build that for your kids. For the blog list you just add an element and choose Blog List. You then have to readd all your blogs you want on there and remove your old link list. And there are options on if you want to show the title of the latest post. Let me know if that made sense or not.
