My favorite memory is when me and my two friends built this fort in the woods, It was at one of my friend's house and she has alot of woods around her house and one day we were out in the woods and we found this really cool like little stone pond and this weird little swamp, so we decided to build a fort near it. The easiest way to get out to where are fort was going to be was to walk around the back of my friends pond.
It would have been really hard to get stuff to build a fort by walking all the way out there, so instead we would load up all the stuff we needed to take out there and put it on this raft and paddle are way across the pond to the back. Once we got there it was really hard to get back to are spot because it was all swampy. We would have to put boards down so we could walk across and carry all of are things. It was really hard to build are fort it took us like all weekend, We had to make a bridge to get across the swamp over to are fort to, so we had to stand in this gross cold mud stuff to build are bridge. We wanted to paint are fort to. So we painted it bright lime green. We didn't buy anything for this fort all the stuff we used we took from her grandmas barns and anywhere else we could find wood and nails. We never put a roof on are fort because we got to lazy. The only rule my friends dad had given us was he did not want to be able to see the fort from his house. But now when you look at the living room window you can see this ugly bright green shack right in the middle of the woods. This is one of my favorite memory's because it was really fun when we were building our fort and we had alot of fun, and i think its funny that my friends dad has to look at our horrible fort everyday.
Forts are the best! I never actually made a legitimate fort outside. You're so lucky! I used to make them out of pillows and blankets only when I was little :(
