Project: Fort - Day 1

My dad came in town on Thursday to help Paul work on the boys' fort this weekend.  We started off with a chilly morning but Gabriel and David were ready to get started!




It warmed up quite a bit that afternoon and the boys were excited to see how their fort had "grown" during nap time! 




Gabriel had some tools and wood to work on some of his own "projects".



David wanted to snack and hammer in the middle of the action.






Tinker Bell found an almost peaceful corner of the yard and watched from a distance.



Break time!






Gabriel was a busy little worker with nails and a real hammer!




Daddy's saw was REALLY loud.



The extent of my manual labor today was climbing the 8 foot ladder while holding my fancy camera for this shot.  We all survived.



The boys got a chance to check out their fort.  I think they like it so far.





At 5pm they ran out of screws so we (I mean Paul and Dad) called it a day and turned on the grill for some burgers, hot dogs and chicken.  



The boys wanted to sit at their table.....in their fort......with Grandpa.  So Paul moved the table in and Grandpa didn't say no.


More to come: walls, railing,  doorway, awning, window, peepholes, ladder, trapdoor, rock climbing wall and roof!  And Papa John comes next weekend to help with the fun project!
