While on vacation we explored Crater Lake National Park. It's a beautiful lake that draws much attention to itself because of its clear, blue water. But what my children discovered was not the beauty of the lake but the joy of its surroundings. As we were eating lunch the girls found a perfect area to build a house. It started with a tree that had three trunks growing from it and within minutes it was no longer a tree, but a car, and then a guestroom, bathroom, office, party room, and a kitchen. (Excuse me if I left out a room. There were so many! The house was like a mansion!) There came a point when we decided we were going to have to leave. Thunder heads were beginning to roll and we knew that we would be as wet as the lake if we stayed any longer. So, much to the girls chagrin, we had to leave their home behind. Now, a week later, that “home” is still talked about. In fact just last night Adalie commented that when she grows up, gets married, and has a family of her own she would like to live there!
This is the very first thing the girls worked on. This actually is not a room, but is definitely an important extension to the house. This would be the car. Doesn't Kylia look beautiful sitting atop the hood?
This would have to be my favorite room. The girls call it "The Party Room". How fun!
This would be the fireplace. I believe the girls are on their way to becoming excellent girl scouts!
The Guest Room! The girls are welcoming their guests to this beautiful room decorated with care. (Well, at least in their minds!)
This is the bedroom. The roots make three little beds in a neat little circle. Don't the girls look exhausted?
This is the room that every woman must have, a kitchen! Notice how nicely they are eating their food around the table?
Here we have the Potty Room (as the girls have named it). Don't worry this is simply a dramatization. No actual potty is taking place!
And that is the house! I hope you enjoyed the tour!!
