When a windstorm knocked over an old oak tree in the Wincklers' spacious back yard, the tree was removed and a bed of river rock was put down in its place.
Now with two kids bounding with energy and imagination, the Wincklers wanted to build a kid-friendly play structure for the whole family to enjoy.
Designing a structure that a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl would both love was a little bit of a challenge, but all I really needed to do was think like a kid and use the same vivid, child-like imagination.
A traditional playhouse wouldn't do, nor would a classic fort, but, I realized, I could combine the two, incorporating a giant drawbridge, treasures and costumes, and get a 'castle' perfect for slaying dragons or holding court with neighborhood pals.
