A boy and a castle

I am a firm believer that children need castles and tents and other ways to retreat. I grew up surrounded with woods, so I'd disappear in there, looking around, hanging out with a book or with friends. I'm probably looking a bit too far ahead, but I figure, my boy needs his own castle. At this point, he is happy to be climbing me, but there will come a point when he'll want to hide for a few minutes, take a break. From me! 

It was one of his birthday gifts. He got to know it better tonight, and I think he likes it.
