The Clubhouse

While outside with Rhett doing what he likes to call "Extreme Swinging" (because I push him so high it gets "dangerous") my eye wandered down the hill to the area known as The Clubhouse.

There is no house in The Clubhouse, nor is there really a club but the boys think it's an awesome place nonetheless. Normally this area is covered by leaves on the trees and with the low hanging branches you can't see in unless you venture through the little opening in the weeds.
However, due to fall being upon us and the leaves all tumbling to the ground, I was able to see into their wooded area of secrecy. (Is that a knight's shield?)
I walked down and the first thing that caught my eye was their clubhouse sign.
In case you can't read it, here it is a little closer: It only took me one second to figure out who's handiwork this is. Along with his looks, Cade also picked up his father's lack of spelling/english knowledge.
I was a little terrified when I read that there was a "calw of darrkness". I didn't know where the claw was coming from so I didn't stay around too long.
I did make note of their crafted meeting table. I guess it's for important discussions between The Clubhouse members.
I am a little curious as to where they came upon all the cut firewood. I know a lot of stuff floats down our way in the creek but I can't help but to think somewhere through the trees some man is wondering why no matter how much wood he chops he still doesn't have enough to start a fire in his fire pit. My fear is that he'll wander into The Clubhouse and be rendered incapacitated by the Calw of Darrkness. I guess it's my duty to put out a neighborhood warning. Consider this it.

Wish we lived closer. I have all kinds of clubhouse wood they could have! When's Bobby going to build that "clubhouse"?
