The new hangout

When she was really litttle, Rob promised Lily the "room above the garage" as a hangout when she turned 12.  She has been drawing pictures of what it will look like, furnished with Pottery barn Teen items from the catalogs she finds before I quickly toss them in the recycling.

The girls headed up there on this hot day to check it out.

I thought they'd be disappointed by the grimes and dust and nails, but they had fun and are excited. 

The entrance is a bit steep and narrow for me.
(Which might be why they like it. It's kid territory.)
