Have you ever returned to a place of childhood memory only to find the space so small now that you've grown? I imagine this is how my kids will reflect on our current yard. But even in the largest homes we have lived in, our yards have been too small or inconvenient to enjoy. For the first time our kids have independent accessibly to the outdoors and the freedom that it creates. It is not ideal, two decks and a sloping dirt hill with old concrete stairs but it is heavily treed and filled with disovery. Bird, bugs and even racoons! So in a bid to enjoy our beautiful summer and free up our interior space we are upsizing the kids outdoor play area by building them a treehouse. A nice safe flat clean place where they can watch movies or play games. They have the best view of the ocean on our property! Throw in a couple of tree swings and it's the closest I have felt to paradise.
