We spent the weekend in Missouri with Barb, so that we could attend the Memorial Service for Tom, a man who touched so many people's lives, and whose smile everybody noticed.
The boys spent some time outside, running off energy and enjoying the milder southern winter temperatures compared to the frigid chills of Michigan. The fields and woods behind Grammy's house just beg to be explored. Lukas and Noah stumbled upon a pile of discards that nobody seemed to desire but the boys. They immediately set out to create a dwelling in the woods, dreaming about coming back another time and maybe use it for hunting shelter. The task at hand required ingenuity and imagination, it was after all just trash laying around. In a few short hours, the shelter was complete and even had a landmark beacon and a functioning flag.
Noah and Lukas proudly posed in their new abode. As we continued the meandering in the fields, Noah looked wistfully at several machines only to realize the limitations of airline travel and luggage restrictions. I am certain that these contraptions will be there next time we visit, and maybe the fort will still be standing....
