I remember as a kid my oldest brother had the COOLEST hang out/fort. We had 9 kids in a 3 bedroom home. As you probably can imagine there was not a lot of free space. My brother found a little pocket of space on top of a wall that separated the kitchen from the family room. You had to do some climbing to get there. (Sounds a little freaky, he was probably like 12 at the time) Which made it a perfect escape from all the little siblings I'm sure. I remember wishing I could hang out in my big brother's fort. One day when he was at school I made the climb just to see what it was like. I remember seeing a lot of baseball cards and being a little freaked out. (I had to climb on top of the refrigerator to get there.) Anyways, I have fond memories of forts as a kid. It makes me happy to see our own children using their imagination like we did in the "old days".
