Today was all about the tepee. Matthew, Liz and I went into the woods and we decided to build a tepee. Liz went back to the house and got my hatchet and then I started cutting down saplings. Liz and Matthew began to pull off the branches while I cut down the straightest trees I could find. I cut down about six or so and positioned them together with Matt and Liz. It was a lot of fun and we have the start of a really good tepee. The tepee is about 12 feet tall and about ten feet in diameter. We've got a lot of work left but it's already pretty cool. I really enjoyed this and it reminded me of all the forts that I built like this when I was a child. I hope Matthew catches the fever and continues to build up the colony.
Right now my son is banging on my bed with his toy wooden hammer. The interesting thing is that this is probably the least annoying and/or destructive thing he's done today. Those old Looney Toons cartoons that featured the Tazmanian devil and all of his spinning destruction pale in comparison to my small but lethal Lex. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
