Giant Lincoln Logs

One of Seth's favorite toys as a kid was his Lincoln Log set. So I guess it's not surprising that he found a way to make a huge version of them for a pergola out on our patio. It's not quite finished, but we're looking forward to growing grapevines on it and having a little outdoor dining area. 

The kids and Coco all like climbing on it. The height combined with the occasional nail sticking out provides the kids with some quality risky play, which kids today apparently lack on a huge scale. So far Charlie has been very cautious about going up and Frankie is well aware that it is too high for him (Seth lifted him up, and Frank immediately wanted to come back down - a first for him!) so for the time being I don't think I need to worry about the smaller ones climbing up and falling off. 

Anyway, here's the project so far (can you spot Coco?):

Is there anything Seth can't do himself?!

Tina - once it has the purlins and vines growing on it, I'm thinking it will look more like a pergola. But you're right, at the moment it looks more like a shed...

Rachana - Seth says he can't spell very well by himself :)
