So I’m driving down the road this morning, just minding my own business, when I glance off to the right side of the street – and I really can’t believe my eyes.
I actually turn my car around, circle back one block, and pull over. I literally get out of my car, and walk across the street to get a better look.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Wow.
Hopefully you can tell from the picture: this tree house is bigger than the actual house it ‘belongs’ to. Amazing.
I hope the kids who enjoy(ed?) that tree house really understand how truly special their parents are. That’s a big ol’ expression of love, right there. And it’s pretty permanent, too. It’s like a tattoo for the yard.
{And the visual that popped into my brain as that last sentence flowed from my fingers *totally* just made me smile. Awesome.}

P.S. Here’s a picture of the amazing hangout from the winter, when the tree is bare of its’ leaves – and you can see all of the tree house.
oh my, awesome is right ! well worth turning around to get a photo.. thanks ;o)

Sharon, thank you so much! I’ve never received an award for blogging before… what do I do with it? It sounds like fun! 🙂

Pass them on to whoever you feel deserves them!
Usually, you’re supposed to say 7 unknown facts about yourself, (which I didn’t do this time) but I DID do the first time I had an award. Then some blogs say pass to 10 people, some say 15, but I say pass to however many you feel like! 🙂

Absolutely amazing tree house – I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! Those kids are sure lucky to have parents who love them so much to do this for them – definitely a labour of love!

I, too, have never seen anything like it before. I can’t begin to imagine how much time/effort/skill/money/etc. went in to building it!

Ruth, I have never seen an episode of Swiss Family Robinson, nor do I even know what the show was about. I could Google it, I suppose….It was a little before my time.

I have never heard of the film “Coast” – so I looked it up on IMDB. Is it a 10 minute short from last year?
Yes, the people who build this amazing abode had no only vision, but effort to back it up. Pretty incredible.

Sorry, should have been ‘The Mosquito Coast’ with Harrison Ford. In it, he builds a magnificent tree house only to rip it down again later in the movie.
