The Clubhouse



Last week Ben rediscovered the clubhouse that was built with their Dad in the backyard. The boys built it last year with scrap wood that our next door neighbor had used to build a shed. Will, Ben and a friend had the best time looking for wood and using the wheel barrow. I think Al bought a few pieces to finish up the house, but mostly it was just scraps. After they built the house they didn't play with it much, but last week Ben rediscovered his clubhouse. He was on a mission to put wood and sticks on top of the lattice roof. This was to keep out the rain. He had a blast doing it and Jack enjoyed helping too. I admit that my backyard is pretty trashy looking. I will try to clean it up some in the spring. For now it it fun for the kids and that is what is most important.
