Treehouses at Cheekwood

I took the boys to Cheekwood today to see the treehouses they just finished building.  Today was the first day they were open.

It was miserably hot but we still managed to have fun exploring.

One of the first things we did was have a picnic lunch.  The boys never actual sat down though.

Each treehouse is completely different.  The first one we visited was called "The Giver".  Rylan went down the slide on this one and came flying off.  He landed in the sand with a thud.  But he laughed it off!

One of the boys favorite treehouses was "The Jolly Roger" (of course!).

As we walked around, I tried to get the boys to sit for a few good pictures.  

Rylan was having none of it though and while Carter wanted his picture taken, he wasn't into looking at the camera or smiling.

My favorite treehouse was "The Rainbow Fish" which was covered in thousands of CDs.

If you look close, you'll see Rylan looking through the eye in this picture ...

And Carter looking through the eye in this picture ...

Luckily no one fell in the water at "Ocean of Notions".  It wasn't built around a tree but it was tied to several trees around the pond.

Finally, a good picture of Carter!

The last treehouse we saw was "Conch House".

There was a sandy area on one side of the treehouse and the boys played in the sand for awhile before we headed out.

We were all beat as we left.  Rylan passed out in the car immediately but, miraculously, Carter stayed awake.  I put him down for a nap when we got home and both boys are still sleeping.
