Yeah, my kids are getting older - 11 and 8 y/o - and I really need to do these things before they outgrow the pleasures of a tree fort (and camping trips, and traveling to other countries w/ mom and dad, etc.) And when they do get older, if they turn the fort into a hangout with their friends, well I'd rather have them hanging out in my trees, even if doing something I might not quite approve of, than doing those things on some street corner. So the treehouse is going to be built to accomodate "big kids" . . .
