Forts Sure Have Come A Long Way!

I can remember building sheet forts when I was a kid. We used the couch, backs of chairs and whatever else we could find. Then we would find a sheet (or two) to use as the roof. It was so much fun! It was like having our own little house. Kids only, of course! Adelae, like most kids LOVES forts (or ports as she calls them). Ben is the master fort builder in this house. One day we had one that was almost the entire living room. For obvious reasons, that one had to be taken down. Ben had a great brainstorm the other day and built Adelae what I'm positive is the best "port" ever. Adelae sure thought so. Her exact words were "WOW DADDY! A PORT!" Every morning when we come downstairs we have to check the fort and make sure that it doesn't need any repairs. (The roof tends to fall down in the night.) Then, and only then, are we allowed to start our day.
