Simply a magical fort

So today would be that dreaded F word, and not only is it the dreaded F word, it just so happens to be the F word on the 13th. FRIDAY THE 13TH . I've noticed I have started all my blogs with So....so far. Today was probably one of the best Friday the 13th I have have, first I went shopping today....SCORE! and secondly I was invited over to a wonderful friends house to have, unbeknownst to be, a magical fort experience.


 Tonight has been one of those times where you realize you really have the best friends on the planet, where you can just sit in a homemade fort that probably took at least over an hour to make, have tea and balloons and rules such as No urination in the fort, and never run out of things to talk or laugh about , especially if the fort is soundproof. Times like these I will cherish forever.
Delicious Green Tea 

Honestly you are never too old to make a fort, sit in one, drink tea in one, or pretend to be pregnant in one. Feeling like a very sophisticated eight year old, I made my way into one of the most magical forts I have ever been in. First the entrance, I felt like I was entering a secret night club where only select members could enter, and I was one of them.
The entrance...How cool! 
Entering this fort was like walking into a magical playground. The ground was covered in colored gumdrops, aka balloons! I was actually surprised there wasn't a bouncer for this club waiting inside to escort the non select out.  There was a ladder with a fun silver dangly sparkly thingy, in honor of Friday the 13th, or simply for decoration but it was beautiful .
It is magical 

 We then went over the fort rules, figuring that rule number one and two was not, no urinating in the fort, but was a rule that must be applied. Few rebellious fort goers decided it would be cool to pour their tea on the ground, since that wasn't against the rules ... we let it go. 
The rules! 
looking straight up into the fort was just as beautiful as staring at the ground. 
The straight up view 
Friends are the best , especially friends like mine who take the time to build a fort and invite us over. Those who laugh and scoff at the idea of spending the day in a tent, obviously aren't as cool as us, but thats okay because they don't know what they are missing out on. 

With a balloon under my shirt and a protective hand over my balloon bump, discussing twilight and putting real fetuses into balloons, what more of a night could I have asked for? Honestly not much. what a great way to spend my last friday on summer vacation.  

                                   Update: teacher emailed me back(yay) however very unhelpful. 
                                   Update update : vita cocos in fridge....  zero. ugh. 

Going to a bridal shower tomorrow ....well today since I have gone over time. so excited!

                                  Update update update: Happy Birthday Dani!  


So all of you with that inner sophisticated eight year old in you, go build a fort, drink tea and share a magical fort moment with all your friends. It's sure to leave a magical memory.

 doesn't it look like a castle? I could just live in it... however one of the rules is all body parts much stay in tent...and no boys allowed.... and if you break the fort...I break your neck. so Prince charming coming to save me , might be a little difficult...  I guess we will think of something, after all .... it is magical.
