Project: Fort Hunter







So, after thirty hours of strenuous labor, using a variety of obscure, discontinued (cheap) tools and following a mind-boggling (less-than-accurate) set of directions, Hunter's Fort (legally named the Big Backyard Aspen Lodge) is complete. Purchased using a U.S. Bond acquired for Tamra back in 1989 by her Grandma Baird (Thanks Great Grandma!!), Hunter's Fort boasts a three swing monkey-bar attachment, climbing wall, lunch station with two stools, covered raised play platform, and a nine foot wave slide.

Sturdy (tested by a 220 pound angry white male) and good-smelling (constructed of mostly stained cedar), Hunter's Fort is open to all siblings and cousins who want to come play (at their own risk of course). Lunch will be served depending on the time of day.

See you all soon.

I did see this, I keep trying to think of a way my kids can come over and break it in at a reasonable hour. Looks like fun and a lot of hard work. Good Job Hunter is one lucky kid!
