Swiss Family Veerman

Well Meg and Nate have been working diligently in the back yard
for several days. They are building ... (next picture, please)


... a Treehouse.
Apparently they got the floor done to their satisfaction, but were getting frustrated that the walls weren't coming out right. Meg asked if she could borrow a knife to make some sticks into "squares" thinking that would work better. (I denied the request.) They've put construction on hold temporarily, waiting for help from Pappy (who according to Nate "isn't really an expert, but knows a lot about tree houses.")


Editor's note: It is actually pretty clever how they "glued" the sticks on to the tree. I haven't checked to see if they are still there since yesterday's rainstorm.

I can see potential here. . . My art teacher always says that beautiful work usually goes through an "ugly" stage, so I will remain optimistic as the 'artists' continue their work on the treehouse!

Very ingenious!
Don't you just love to watch them working so hard together?
