My Tree House

When I was about 7 years old, my neighbors and I were bored. We decided to build a tree house. There were 2 boys and 1 girl, plus me. The tree was in the woods. We used 5 nails and 1 hammer. We used my golf go-cart to lug the supplies over.

When we started to build, we came up with ideas with what we do in it. We used chalk to color it purple and pink. those were my favorite colors. I was happy that I finally got to make a tree house.

When we finished, we put plastic chairs and pots with flowers. We played with it for a week. After the last day, it rained and the chairs were gone and the pots were broken, and the chalk was gone (on the tree). I was very upset, but we played games like house. I was always the mom!

The tree house is used by squirrels today, but is greatly remembered.
