The ULTIMATE Kidspired Creation!

Last summer, my husband came home one day with this...
...a disassembled crate from a large shipment at work.
My oldest son saw the possibilities
and began taking measurements...
"It's 3 and 1/2 measures."
So we carried the base to the back yard
and set it on cinder blocks....
...and everyone loved it...
...especially Pirate the dog who claimed it as his own...
...and we had big plans...
...then this happened...
...and then THIS happened...

...so this was our fort for nearly a year...

...and then baby girl came home from the hospital
and Daddy got back to work...
...and the boys "helped" every step of the way...
...and I did my fair share too...
...making sure we were EXCEEDING safety standards...
...for several days and several nights we worked...
...and the boys were set to explore...
...life beyond the fence...
...and we all went on a trip in our favorite rocket ship...
...and watched fireworks light up the sky...
...and rode horses through the cane fields...
...and won battles in the War of the Water Balloons...
...and as if the fort weren't cool enough
we added death-defying feats...

...that leave you face down in the mud...
...but there was still more to be built...

...so this is our fort...
...for now...
