Playing in the mud

The kids had a ball playing in the mud after a crazy rain storm.

Fun with friends

Puddles and mud everywhere!

Only Rebecca would wear silver shorts and rubber boots.

Will I lose my boot in this puddle

How big of a splash can I make with this ball

Run Rebecca!

Treehouse

Rob started building a treehouse for the kids a few weeks ago.  It took him a year to plan everything.  When we started talking about a treehouse I couldn't have imaged it turning out this fantastic. With any luck the kids will be moving in this weekend.  Here is a visual of the work so far.....

First support up and level-ish.

Second support up surprisingly easy..and level.
