Designed for Kids!

Tory's youngest brother Brian recently got married in Utah. The reception was held at home of a family member (Bride's side). It's actually 2 houses sharing the same back yard. These pictures are only the highlights of the kids area. Only about half of the rest of the amazing landscape. I won't describe all the other areas... too much effort... but this is a glimpse of the kids areas!


This is the kid size cabin... the door is slightly too short for an adult to go in with out ducking!


This one room cabin is complete with electricity, antique stove (on th right when you walk in) and just wide enough for a fouton couch and top bunk for sleeping!







My boys are having the time of their life in the sandbox with more tractors than even we own!


(Is that possible?)


The sandbox sits opposite from the cabin.




Here is a Stucco teepe that also has electricity.... inside it is a celing fan and little chairs in a circle around a fire pit!

The pond is directly behind the house the owners live in, there is also a little waterfall you can't see, but from where I am standing there is a secret path up a little hill on the back side of the pond (there is also a fake deer in the trees by the path) that takes you up to this tower... picture on the left in the inside of the tower... also with electricity!















This amazing home has opened my eyes to some of the possibilities you can create with a little imagination!
