Tree House, Stage I

Since the weather is warming up, I decided it was a good time to start on the kids' treehouse. This is the first stage, basically a platform a few feet off the ground (though on the left side, there's a steep drop off down a hill). I tried to think of what would be safest for 3yr olds to play on. Soon we're going to add a ladder on the left side, balance beams off to the right, and put up a few boards to hold a tarp above it all. Stage II, possibly when they turn 4 this summer, will involve a second level, with railings, a trap door, and a rope ladder.
