Building a Treehouse

We are building a treehouse!  Grandpa is heading up this project, and came up with a concept using two 30' steel beams, and we all worked together to make a plan for a special space that we will get to use and love for years to come.  We are so excited to watch it come together!

Look at that bridge!  The entire structure is 12' off the ground, and framing is beginning this week on the treehouse part.

Grandpa, Vivi, and I inspected the windows and the front door, all of which came from Vivi, Brigette, Henry, Ellie, and Stella's great-great-great grandparents house.  They are going to look so good refurbished with new panes and fresh paint.

We are still deciding on a color, but I'm thinking about Pickup Truck Blue, which is the color of the front door of the Bluff House.

We caught a lizard, which Vivi named George.  We took him to visit Great-Grandpa.

We are so excited about this incredible gift, and can't wait to spend the night in it for the first time, and spend long hours playing in it!
