A few weeks ago on Pinterest I saw instructions on building a fort out of pvc pipe. It looked simple enough and I asked Dave if he thought this was something we could do and he jumped right on board. Although, he suggested, we don't have to follow their dimensions or design, we can make it however we want. So we went to Home Depot and made it a Saturday project!
After all the cuts, we started assembling our fort and realized that it was going to be huge. Maybe we should have followed their directions afterall?! Oh, well. We kept cutting it back and back and got it to a managable size.
We tossed some sheets over the top and voila! A super-awesome fort!
Caroline loves it. She spent a lot of time in the fort and even slept in it a few times!
The following week I sewed a fitted cover for the fort. I didnt' take pictures of it, so just take my word that it looks good ok?
Of course now that we've listed the house and started packing, the fort is back to its origins: in pieces. Maybe when we're in Thatcher we'll put it back together for the kids to play with their cousins in it!

I have a couple of cousins who volunteer to help "play" when you get here!
Very cute fort. And inspiring to find that someone actually makes something from their Pinterest pins.
I could also think of a few cousins who would love to play in it!
That is the coolest thing ever! I love forts and I would totally make that! Way to go:)
