The Fort Party






We're making plans for Maggie's 12th birthday (we think we're going to rent an RV and take a bunch of her friends camping at the beach for the weekend - it's a little bit of an insane idea, the image of Tony driving a 30 foot RV up the coast is a bit of a stretch, but we'll keep you posted.) Anyway, with that day drawing near, I thought I should probably post pictures from her 11th birthday party, which was a fort building party.  We gathered a bunch of random materials - pvc pipe, x-mas lights, animal print fabric, toilet seats, barbie doll, etc - and split the group into 2 teams, each with a pile of stuff that they had to use to build their fort.  There were rules - each fort had to have a door, a window, a mascot and a useful function.  It was amazing to see what they came up with!  One boy, Alex, put the toilet seat around his neck and was that team's mascot, named Potty Mouth.  Hilarious.
