Planting Tender Sprouts

Looks like something my son did when he was that age. He went into the valley next to us and over a few years managed to dig a fairly big hole about 15 feet deep right beside one of the trees. When he was finally done with it, he had to use a homemade ladder to get in and out of it. Thankfully it did not cave in but now with renovations to the yard, we had someone with a loader dump a load of gravel into it and it is filled in now.

Boy, did he love it in there. Under the trees, cool in the summer, hiding in there. It was a project...not a tree house, but his "hole."
