A few days ago, a friend posted a link to a new tree house
adventure center in the area. Intrigued, I clicked on the link to learn more.
It didn’t take long before I knew that we were going to be headed to Tree House
World before the Summer of Awesome 2017 came to an end. Yesterday morning I piled the kids into the
car (including Timmy) and we drove to play in the trees.
The big kids tended to stick together on the more complex
activities while I played with Timmy, who was particularly excited by the tree
house train. Whoever decided to design a tree house shaped like a multi-car
train certainly knows toddlers. My little guy was in heaven playing on the
train among the branches. I loved
hearing the squeals of laughter from the big kids echoing through the tree
branches as we played on the choo choo tree.
After some cajoling, the big kids finally gathered the
courage to attempt the tree climbing activity.
After they were all properly harnessed and passed the obligatory safety
instruction, each took their turn conquering the climb. My niece quickly made
her way to the top, marking her success by ringing the bell perched on the last
branch. Robby and my nephew each made it
a few feet before they succumbed to their nerves. Even though they didn’t reach
the top I’m proud of them all for overcoming their fears by trying something
new.
We have had some wonderful adventures over the past few
weeks, but I must say that Tree House World was a fantastic way to end the
summer. Everybody, including Timmy, had
a fantastic time running through the elevated structures, sliding, swinging and
bouncing through the woods.
