camp houses and ponds......

Well, we had another interesting weekend here in the woods.  Where the yellow slide is in this picture, there used to be a playhouse.  When we had it in Alabama, it was on 8 foot posts. It is no longer on 8 foot posts and no longer in the trees.

Here is it's new home.  On the little peninsula into the pond.  Much work was needed still as the deck on it was only 2 foot wide.  We originally built when Alex was 6 or so.

Ready to work!

Well, almost ready......we need to watch the fish first!  Here is one of our little bream!  And, yes, our water is now that blue!  We put some kind of dye into the pond which is supposed to reduce the amount of weeds growing in the pond since it tints the water.  I think Terry might have put a little much in.....lol.

Here is the original deck looking over the pond.

Getting the posts into the muck and level was quit a scene,  Alex enjoyed it though since he could get into the water.  :) Decking halfway done!

The neck pier - minus the hand rails which will be added later.  It is a little over 8 foot wide and 12 feet long.  Looks like a great place to do pilates in the afternoon!


One corner is still a bit low and will be adjust on Wednesday.  Terry needed to try it out.

Not sure who will enjoy it more - the grown up boy, or???

The growing up boy!


I bet I can figure that out pretty quick though!

What do you think?


Just long enough of a run to make a big splash!

Oh yeah! I think they both like it!
