ft menzies

Audrey had been making "forts" with the couch cushions and pillows. This had only consisted of her putting everything in a pile and laying in the middle of everything to watch TV. In walks Daddy. He proceeds to get out every single blanket we own and use the couch as the main support. Before the night was over there were 2 mop handles and countless twist ties used for reinforcement. Sadly, the fort didn't make it through the evening, the "entrance" required you to crawl through only, Lucy did not quite comply to this rule...
Night 2:
So I guess Travis aka the fort architect slept on it and came up with some new design ideas for the girls to try again the next night. Notice how the new fort is in the middle of the living room now instead of on the couch. Also notice that tape is now being used in addition to the ties. Oh and now the fort has a name "The unicorn friendship boys and girls club, no strangers allowed". This fort lasted the whole rest of the week. The girls (and Travis) had a blast.
