"Come boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy."
Author: Shel Silverstein
The last few weeks, Christopher and 3 of his friends have been heading out to the woods behind our house to play. What started out as a place for them to have air soft gun wars, has turned into a much bigger project. They have spent their afternoons out in this 100 degree heat, building a campsite. We have been hearing about their adventures each night at dinner and last night, we were finally invited to check it all out. So, Steve and I crossed the field to look at it.
~ Across the field and to the woods on the right is their hidden hide away ~
~ The entrance to the campsite ~
~ They have cleared the brush in this area so that they can camp out one night this fall ~
~ Another look at their potential camp site ~
~ They found a tarp in the woods and made a tent ~
~ the stream ~
~ Christopher built this bridge over the stream using wood they found in the woods. ~
~ A Lean-to they made, a la Bear Grylls ~
