Spent the last month working on a simple treehouse in our backyard with my 8 and 10 year old. Nothing fancy, just some 2x8s bolted into the oak tree and a platform with a rope ladder. Watching them haul materials up and actually use their hands to build something with their old man was incredible. They're out there every single day now. Highly recommend this project.
That sounds amazing. My little guy is still in the teething phase but man, I'm already thinking about projects like this when he's old enough.
A month well spent. Those are the memories they're gonna talk about when they're older. That oak tree is gonna be the spot.
A month well spent. There's something special about creating something with your hands and your kids right there helping. They're learning real skills plus getting quality time with dad.
Simple treehouse is perfect. My 10 and 8 year old would lose their minds for something like that. Beats any toy you could buy them. Did they help with the whole build or mostly just watch?
That's awesome man. Building something with your kids like that is the stuff they remember forever. My boys still talk about the fort we built three years ago.

That's the dream right there. Building something with your hands and your kids at the same time is peak dad material.
