Tree house

Mark spent his Father's Day, and most of the following week, building Logan a tree house.  It is a pirate ship tree house, with steering wheel, telescope on the upper deck, and pirate flag flying.  Logan loves it-- he has been pulled away crying to go to bed on several occasions.  Its been a good father-son bonding activity, and good timing with the baby soon to divert my attention from my mama's boy.

The caveman version.  After successfully constructing this little house, they were ready to move to the trees. 

 Putting up the first board

Logan helping. 
Some time soon after this, Logan fell off the ladder, scraped himself up, and we were done helping.  Then a bunch of work happened... and we got to this point:
First deck done

Second deck done

The tree house is done for the moment, though there are plans underway for the rope bridge to the third platform, the zip line to the 4th platform, and the eventual REAL treehouse when Logan is old enough to build his own.
