The Clubhouse

Gordon built Jude a "Clubhouse" in the backyard. So far Jude and all the neighbor boys love playing in the clubhouse. Gordon built a climbing wall to enter the fort through the trap door and a closet door for the entrance/exit to the walkway that goes around the whole structure. (He designed it to look like a Fire Station Lookout with an observation deck.) We received some playground pieces from Gordon's Uncle Mark and Aunt Tina years ago to build our own playground set, so Gordon has been using pieces of that on the clubhouse: the climbing blocks, the monkey bars, the swing (which is on the deck by the house). We still need to put in a slide for the exit, but we haven't found what we are looking for yet for a reasonable price. If anyone has a place to get slides for cheap, let me know please! So far the kids don't seem to mind. Gordon will put a roof on as soon as we have extra money for the materials (ha, ha, extra money).
