When I was little, I remember my mom adding a card table to the end of the dining room table and covering the entire thing with afghans. Katie and I would play under there for hours.
Ava has set up camp in the living room. Her “fort,” made with a sheet, blanket and card table, has become her favorite hang out. It’s the playroom, doctor’s office–anything she can imagine.
The only thing it lacks is a baby-proofing moat.
And, speaking of sisters, Bryan’s sister Jessica celebrated her birthday yesterday. Happy birthday!

Great photos! Ava looks so pleased with herself–another likeness to Bryan 🙂

I think there must be a universal appeal to a ‘tent’! Our kids loved doing that very same thing – I used to love playing under a very large weeping willow tree in my Grandma Ruth’s backyard – she had pruned the lower branches to allow for an entrance – my cousins and I played there very happily for hours on end – our own little hideaway! And, our parents were happily enjoying the time off, while we had our special adventures!
