Late on a summer afternoon, after exhausting his mother, Little "O" summoned the help of a new partner to hack and tie together the stick fort.
I loved listening to their conversations about stick length and fort dimensions,
Stacking sticks,
Hacking sticks,
And tying sticks,
Watching this papa embrace his son's love of building and spending some great time outdoors brought a sense of calm to my little family.
As they continued to build, dream and ponder, this momma fired up the grill for a late summer barbeque.
