The Teepee.

The other day Austin was interested in building a teepee. He set out towards the creek and collected all sorts of sticks, bought them back to his building site not far from the playset, and started building the frame. Then I suggested he add in some morning glory vines and hosta leaves to block the wind from blowing in the teepee. We did some more collecting, adding and stuffing the greenery into the crevices of the sticks. I cut some Juniper branches and we shoved them in, too. I cut some pampas grass and added the plumes to the top of the teepee. Voila!
