Tree House Ryan

IMG_8348

Oh– What a Wonderful Old Tree House, Ryan!

IMG_8346

May I Climb Up Into it, Dad?
Yes, Ryan.  Mr. D. said that we Could Enjoy this Tree House While we are Visiting him.
He Built it 23 Years Ago for his Daughters who are now at College.
It was Extraordinarily Well-Built to Last so Very Long!
