What a FABULOUS meeting. A huge thank you to Ric Loduha and his Human Factors class for presenting some truly awesome ideas! We were thoroughly impressed, and hope to incorporate several of them into the park, if we can! I took copius notes, and found myself saying "wow! Cool!" a whole lot. Good job, guys. We're hoping some of you Finlandia students might actually want to follow your designs to the next step and help us construct various pieces. After the Finlandia meeting, we travelled to the site and discussed our impressions of the Kids Crooked House proposal. We're seriously considering having this company build our treehouse structure, and are in the process of hammering out specifics. Check out their website at http://www.kidscrookedhouse.com/. You may have seen their playhouses on TLC's "John and Kate plus 8", or on ABC's "Extreme Makeover Home Edition". Last week, they were also on DIY network's "King of Dirt". They do excellent work, and will help us create a truly whimsical, inviting space for our children.
Decisions are coming down to the nitty-gritty, and we're in the process of assigning "construction projects" to various individuals with willing hands and the right skills. Check out the "project assignment" link in the sidebar. If there's an empty space and you think you're the person to fill it (or know someone who is), PLEASE contact me at monicaaho@gmail.com!
