Fort Building Day

I told them they had to stay outside and build a fort. It was trash day, so I suggested scrounging around the neighborhood for supplies.

Here they are collecting bamboo. They convinced the trash collectors to let them have it.

 

They also collected old chairs and a broken picnic table umbrella.

I think collecting supplies was the best part of the endeavor. The end result was .... nothing build. They propped up the umbrella and called it a fort. I called foul and didn't let them into the house until 2 pm.
