The Cabin in the Woods

My cousins came to visit today. The boys were down in the woods raising the walls of their cabin a little higher. What fun!

That is WONDERFUL!! Please tell more about it! Are they chopping those trees down themselves? How did they learn how to do this?

The boy's sawed down the trees and cleaned them off with their axes, cut the logs to size, notched them (trial error), and stacked them. They are making plans for splitting shingles for the roof and building a door. I suppose they have just read enough books over the years that 5 teenaged boys were able to put their heads together and build this.

Doesn't it look like fun?
