For as long as I can remember in our marriage, we wanted to give our kids a tree house. It's just such an iconic thing, and something maybe we both wanted as kids, that it's been something that we yearned to live somewhere where we could build one. Alas, we have never been able to do so, mostly for lack of a tree big enough. We decided that we could still do a house, even without the tree, and decided to build a backyard fort. It was supposed to be something the boys could do together, but the girls joined in more than they did. Scott posted on the yard sale pages for scrap wood, and was able to get enough pallets, 2x4's, etc, to make a decent fort. It may not be Pinterest-worthy, or like anything we had dreamed of, but it filled the desire and has been something fun for the kids. I need to post the after pictures, but here's some of the "befores".
