Tents

Those of you who have boys know how crazy they are about tents.  My boys have been making tents since they learned how to stack my couch pillows.  I have to admit, that I wasn't always so happy to see my  pillows thrown around the family room.  But in retrospect, it gives me fond memories. 

This is a tent my husband built for them in our front yard.  They were so excited to be camping!  It was great!  Chris and I slept inside in our warm comfy beds and Ethan and Dylan roughed it outside with their dad.  

They are also into tree houses.  In fact Dylan thinks that his room in the new house is going to be in the tree house.  I don't know why (or how ) he thinks that I actually agreed to it.  He is telling everyone that his stuff is going to go inside of this:

I'm not sure that thing would hold more than thier bodies...but boys can dream.  Speaking of dreaming...

I wouldn't mind having this tree house myself :)  Maybe my husband and Uncle Chuy (from September Rust) will get together for a summer project.  Wishes sometimes come true...

"Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.  Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling...Now it is God who made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
