Zipline turned into bigger project than expected...

I told the kids I would build them a ZipLine...Then a Launch Platform...Then...well you get the picture of what this project turned out to be!! It was pretty fun building it with them and letting them design it just how they wanted!!















































































































We slept out in the TreeHouse the Sunday night before school started. (School started on a Tuesday of course.)

















Just as we were getting to settle down for he evening and watch a movie in the TreeHouse before going to sleep, this "End of Summer Firework Show" went off in front of our house. It was pretty need seeing fireworks coming through the tree's as we were laying in the treehouse, but we had to go get a closer look!!
