Now you see it...now you don't!
More then 10 years ago Gregg lovingly built this for his kids.
He was assisted for a few days by his brother-in-law Gil.
It has been the backdrop for many a Christmas photos,
Kindergarten get to know you events, and birthday parties.
Friends have climbed on it, cousins have hopped on for a swing
and the Mattson kids have logged many a hours on it.
It has had the roof replaced to match the house,
it has been adorned with Christmas lights
and necessary repairs were made along the way.
It is showing it's age and although it needs a
fresh coat of redwood stain it is in relatively good shape.
It is hard to part with, but instead of a Craig's List posting
we offered it to a roofer with seven children. It makes us happy to know that this labor of love stands to have a few more years of outdoor playtime!
