The Secret In The Woods

There's a place we like to go to think, and play, and imagine.  It's a bit of a trek to get there but we don't mind.

Through the woods,
into the tall grass,
past the river,
and back into the woods again.
Finally we reach our destination.   Our teepee in the woods.
 Years ago we stumbled upon this teepee that someone (the kids are sure the Indians built it) lovingly built. 
It is large enough and sturdy enough for our whole family to enjoy.  A place to pretend.  A place to wonder.  A place where imaginations run wild.  Our teepee in the woods.

  3. Chrissy- Sure! Come on over! I must warn you that the weather has been pretty crappy lately so I don't know if we could make it to the teepee. ;)

    Elaine- The boys LOVE the teepee. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera the last few times we went there so they aren't in the pictures. Oops.

  7. Mom24- The credit goes to my hubby for finding it before we even had kids. He always walked our dogs there and stumbled upon it. :)

    Wendy- It is SO cool. Even better than it looks in the pictures.

    Brimful- Yep! It has been there for years. I think anyone who stumbles upon it helps out a bit too. Adding more logs and clearing it out a bit. :)
