Fort-Building.

When we visited Utah back in June, Grandpa had a surprise to show them in his basement.  The surprise: a wooden-treehouse-fort-thing complete with climbing wall, hideout area, fireman's pole, swings, a bucket with pulley, and a swinging bridge.  They were in love and immediately asked him to build them one in North Carolina!

So, Grandpa flew from Utah to North Carolina and did just that.  Despite getting injured on his first day here by a playful kick in the leg that somehow caused his entire leg to bruise from hip to toe, he lived up to what he told his grandkids.  He built them a fort.  And they "helped" a little...which mainly consisted of going to Lowe's Home Improvement about 5 times and watching movies on his laptop while "helping".

The finished product is quite a sight and SO much fun!  Thank you Grandpa...we love it!
