A Home of Their Own
O.K. We all know what an amazing Tree House Paul
built for the "grandkids " to play in and they really
do enjoy it a lot....but there is just nothing, nor ever has
been, or ever will be like building your 'own'.

Last weekend, the cousins got together to spend time in
the mountains and along with the games, hikes and swings,
scavenger hunts, etc.......they built a "Cousins's Club House".
They were at it pretty steady for two full days, begrudinly stopping
only occasionally for a bite to eat as they ran back out to the
project. This they continued till the skies turned a little dark.
Then, for some reason not one of them wished to spend the night in
their new creation.


Note: the hanging garbage basket (to keep the bears out of camp).
The campfire, replete with a burning log,
The fancy hanging decorations ?


Next time.....we're trapping Squirrels.
I found an old Trap we used when I was a kid and
cleaned it up and painted it ....maybe it will last another 40 years.
