The Minister's Treehouse (more info..)
RockerDad and Robbie had fun visiting The Minister's Treehouse last week.
Here is the best shot of the whole treehouse that they returned with. It is partially hidden due to the foliage during the warm seasons.
This is a better shot of the structure during winter.
Here you can see how the reclaimed lumber (the wood is all reclaimed) is constructed into what looks (to me, anyway) like branches and bark to support the gigantic structure.
Robbie climbed all by himself.
He had so much fun!
This is the view from the top.
