This is Barbara's first play structure and original source of inspiration - our upstate NY house. The Butler kids (all 8 of us) grew up in this extraordinary old house with it's secret panels, spiral staircase, spooky attic and great old oak tree out back. Our Dad climbed the tree and hung a thick rope with knot on the end, then placed 2 logs into the crotch of the tree as a way up. We spent hours every summer day outside up in the tree and on the rope swing. During the winter (it seemed to snowed 9 months out of the year) we could swing off the logs into giant snow drifts!

Happy Holidays from all of us at BBABinc!
