Hobo Hut

From my friend, Natalie's blog:

Last Thursday a big wind/rainstorm blew through our neighborhood. There are a cluster of big old willow trees across the street from us in the common area. One of the big wind gusts broke a huge branch right in half, leaving a tangle of leaves and branches. Who knew what fun this would bring for our neighborhood kiddos! They all gathered and worked like bees in a hive to build a fort. Girls, boys, dogs, you name it, they were there working on their creation. It provided hours and hours of entertainment all day, everyday. Our friend dubbed it the "hobo hut." It was quite fun and elaborate-with flags, a place with berries, and at one point a handmade quilt (I think that got put away when the mother realized what it was being used for-aah!). I know the kids were sad to see it go when the landscape crew came on Tuesday and cleaned it up. I was sorta sad too! Drake and I enjoyed watching the kids play. (Her Drake is almost a year old).

Perfect description from Natalie of this great hut that our kids built. It kept them busy all day and really used their imaginations. It brought kids out from all over the neighborhood! I am mourning the loss of the hobo hut....even though Scott, our next door neighbor, called it White Trash....all the Mom's share the same feeling about that glorious hut! Wish it could have stayed 2 more weeks until school started! Maybe we can pray for more wind.....
