I know I don't. I would love to have a garden den in my back garden but then I'd have no garden left! We make outdoor dens all the time-great fun :) Thanks for sharing with #TheThemeGameRedpefferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931060211142294859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806877037758752872.post-26579548186822049172014-04-09T19:33:57.727+01:002014-04-09T19:33:57.727+01:00So exciting to have an outdoor den, especially rig...So exciting to have an outdoor den, especially right in your garden! There is something almost magical about them, and I remember no end of adventures in dens, indoor and out, throughout my childhood.

Good that you have a dead end street too. I have great memories of playing out like that.Mama Macfennellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908331777723548888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806877037758752872.post-10775283428395201522013-10-06T15:57:01.356+01:002013-10-06T15:57:01.356+01:00That den is lovely!

We have an elevated playhouse in our backyard (think treehouse minus the tree) and my kids sequester themselves back there inventing, playing, and just being. I am currently struggling a bit with the idea that my six year old wants to run free on our block. Since we know most of our neighbors and live on a dead end street, I do let him take off on his bike and run with the pack of neighbor kids, but never without just a hint of worry at my side. I do so want my kids to have a childhood full of bike races and neighborhood friends and staying out until the street lights come on, but we live in such a society of fear that I sometimes doubt myself. I guess the backyard den is a happy medium, isn't it?
