Summer Project



My Dad and Clint have been working on a small little project this summer. By small I mean a tree house that is bigger than our bedroom. For the past 26 years I have spent a majority of my summers at my parents cabin in Preston, Idaho. It is one of my favorite places to be. I love falling asleep to the sound of the river, waking up in a nice cool cabin, dutch oven dinners, roasting marshmallows by the fire, driving our four wheelers and fishing trips with my Dad. This past summer my parents had to cut down one of the trees. We were all so sad to see the tree go so my Dad decided to build a tree house. Of course Clint had to get in on the action and this tree house became the king of all tree houses. It will be complete with air conditioning, electricity, adorable decorations and 19 happy little grand kids. We are thinking of selling our house and moving into it.

They have done a wonderful job. The kids are SO excited. We are grateful to have Clint's energy and expertise in the family.

Yeah, that treehouse is by far and away the BEST treehouse in the world. You could. You could move into it and have plenty of space! And it's going to be so cute and comfy when it's all decorated! Good job, Clint and Bruce!

You will have to fight us on the moving in thing! I can't wait to see it all done. It is going to be so much fun, the kids will have to drag US out kicking and screaming!

Yeah, I'm a little scared that the entire Dopp family retirement plan is "move into the treehouse".

It is awesome Clint and dad have done a great job!!!
