The great tree.

Have I mentioned "the Great Tree" before?  It's a magical wonderland for my children.  A hidden oasis where imaginations run wild and childhood fantasies know no borders.  Yes, it's that good.  So good, that when my third child found out that her older sisters were spending the afternoon there while she went to her best friend's awesome birthday party, she almost didn't want to go (to the birthday party, that is).  Almost.  Here are a couple of pictures I managed to shoot of two of my girls frolicking in the branches:

Oh, how every child deserves a great tree somehow, somewhere.
