The highlight of my spring break is cleaning/decorating a tree house with Sophia and Lucia. The tree house was at Sophia’s country house in Connecticut. It was meaningful to me because I got to act like an interior designer. I found out how much I liked to design places. I found a way to express my creativeness into something besides drawing and writing. What we actually did was first cleaning up all the leaves and poop (we actually found animal poop inside of the tree house, we think it was a raccoon). Then we went to a hardware shop to see if we can find any decorations for the hang up. We came back with two solar powered lanterns, twelve mason jars, twelve fake candles (we put them inside of the mason jars), a smaller broom, a hanging platform (originally for bird seed), a small fake plant (we put that inside of the hanging platform), and a plastic basket to pack our stuff in. After we got back we remembered that we wanted some chairs so we can sit down. We already had a stool but we planned on that being a table. So we explored the creepy storage barn. Inside of the barn we found a woven basket (to use as a third chair and to put the mason jars in when we leave), and two wire chairs with wooden seats. Sophia’s mom also found some table cloths, and fairy lights for us. So after a couple hours of sweeping and moving furniture around (with a splinter in my finger) we finished our final results. Sophia, Lucia, and I were very proud of our finished project. The next morning we decided to take some pictures but it was raining so we had to take them quick. So that was my trip to Connecticut.

This is us the rainy morning after we finished the tree house. Lucia and Sophia are inside of the tree house.
