Fort Gelter


Erected: Monday June 28th, 2010 around 6:45 p.m.
Construction Length: about 10 minutes
Dedicatory Song: The Wise Man Built His House Upon a Rock

While this sturdy structure stood it was filled with lots of family fun and echoed with Porter's squeals of excitement. It also housed a small white pup who was very amused with the project. The fort was enjoyed for every minute while its frame held up, and even when it started to sag a little. The engineering marvel met its demise around 7:25 when it collapsed. The 3 residents did survive, although the youngest did receive a bath after the cave-in and was promptly put to bed. The rubble still lies in that spot. Clean-up is anticipated before dessert.

{Just look at that face no need to explain his enjoyment.}




We included these 2 videos; the one is crowded but cute. We had fun to say the least. It's amazing what great memories we can create by setting aside an hour to be together.
