Fort Addition/Renovation

Jeff came home last night with another install box to expand our fort. He had told the boys that when he could get another one he would so that the fort could have an upstairs. You could imagine Trey's excitement when Jeff came home with the second box. Roman was excited (and you'll see from the pics, even played a bit), but still pretty sick, so not his normal self.

Jeff went to work with the renovations. It was quite a project as these boxes are so heavy-duty that each box comes in three parts! The completed fort is impressive. Trey calls it his castle. Inside the "downstairs" there's a hole in the ceiling that Trey can boost himself through (Roman needs help) to get to the "upstairs", which has a window with a door. On the outside of the fort there's a ladder that Trey can use to climb to the top, it even includes hand-holds on the top to help him get all the way up. Roman isn't able to climb this ladder yet, and I'm kind of glad as it is pretty tall. (Although you'll see in the pictures that Jeff boosted him up there so he could check it out.) I tested the whole thing myself, even climbing the ladder and sitting on the roof. It didn't even wobble. Jeff was quite the architect with this project!
