Week 13: Box Fort, Phase 1

 For Family Home Evening, we made a box fort from the empty boxes. We had several large, three-ply bicycle boxes that were very study and made a nice foundation for creating a bridge. Each of the younger children claimed a "house" using one of the larger boxes. We then added a library and a restaurant. The kids played in this structure for weeks with their friends. By Thanksgiving, we had added a couple more towers and tunnels. My gardener thought were we a little crazy to keep all the boxes, but he agreed that the box fort was pretty cool.


We built the fort in the area called the garage. Here is a view of the rest of the back porch. It's a pretty large area and is a nice place for entertaining, playing and just sitting outside.
