Kai has been working with his best buddy, Walter, on a fort down by the Mississippi River. We are lucky to live just blocks away from one of our favorite spots in Minneapolis- an oak tree grove, surrounded by plenty of green space, where you feel like you are far away from the city life. This is our super-secret place for our super-cool fort. It's especially fun since someone else is working on it too, so when we visit it, there is always something new. The boys have designed a library, a garden, sleeping rooms, and of course bathrooms too.

Most of the time, after we work on the fort, we head down to the river in the winter to explore the water. Here are some sweet photos of the two boys (and Ruby June) who are such sweet friends and wonderful matches for each other. Kai and Walter both are smart, kind, respectful, and thoughtful boys. We are so glad that Walter and his whole family (yes, you, Tricia, Jeremy, Owen, and Griffin too) came into our lives when we chose Sunny Hollow Montessori School.

Cutest picture!
Awe... Don't be making me miss you even more! We love you so much!!!
your gramma Dorothy would be having a bird...or maybe she is, in heaven to hear you talk about playing down at the river. I can't tell you how many times I heard not to play down by the river from her. A childhood friend neighbor was killed when she grew up in the neighborhood down in the cliffs by where you go exploring and she could never forget it. Of course, the first things we did when we left the house on our bikes was head for the river.

Building forts is so much fun, your kids are clearly enjoying their role as architects, I love the details of all the rooms.
