The Tree House

The forest was alive with noise this last day. If you had been there you
could hear people yelling for the lost girls. You could hear the motors of the Ranger and the four wheeler. The eagle and the crows also made a  lot of noise. Wilameana was on the run. Poppy and Lycan had made sure that she was running up those old stone steps towards the top of the mountain. Harmony was watching out the window of the castle that she had been held in for such a long long time. Her heart started to beat faster and faster. Little did she know that her daughter, Moss, was also  in
 the forest looking for Kylee and Kenlee. Moss vowed that she would not stop until they were found. She wanted to live at the edge of the forest to be close to her friends in the sunshine patch. It was so beautiful there.
 Grayson and his father reached the castle first and released Harmony from the castle. The eagle flapped his wings so fast that the wind from his wings blew Wilameana into the castle. The door slammed shut; clang! She was there to live for a long long time. She needed some time to remember the mean things that she had done to the happy couples that had once lived in the cabin as well as to Moss. She needed to change her ways and be kind to the animals in the forest too.
Two grumpy little girls woke up in their beds at their nana and papa's house. They could hear the motors and people talking. They rubbed their eyes and looked at each other. Kylee said, "Boy I had the scariest dream ever. I dreamed that I was lost in a forest. Kenlee said, "What? So did I. It was terrible. I think it was all because we wished on that old golden egg. Remember we wished we could live in a tree house forever? I never ever want to see a tree house as long as I live!" Kylee said, "Me either. I hear Nana and Papa calling us. I wonder why they are waking us up so early this morning."
Their bedroom door opened up and there was their nana and papa telling them to hurry up and get ready. They were going to go to a tree house and have fun. Both girls jumped up out of bed and dived under their beds and covered their ears. "What in the world is wrong with those girls? We worked all night with their friends from Marleewood and our family to get that tree house done. Now they won't come out from under their beds."
Finally they convinced the girls to get out from under the beds, get dressed, and go outside with them. They couldn't believe what they saw out in their grandparents' timber. The most beautiful tree house they had ever seen. It even had a net under the steps to play on. It was wonderful. Even better than what they had wished for.

 The girls looked at each other and giggled. Their real life tree house was much better than their wish. They could play in this tree house at their grandparents and still live with their mom and dad. They both said,  "We will even invite Aadon to come and play with us." They knew that they never wanted to live in a tree house because their friends and family wouldn't be there. They only want to go to the tree house when they can go too. At this tree house they could make s'mores and have picnics. They could have so much fun with their friends. Oh their eyes just sparkled. They could just imagine all the fun they were going to have this summer. Kylee said, "Oh I wish..." Then she caught herself saying "wish." She laughed and told Kenlee I am never saying that word again. They both laughed and climbed up the stairs to their new tree house and decided to be silly, have fun and eat those delicious s'mores. Yum!
The forest is a happy place now that Wilameana is in a time out. Moss is now dressed in a lovely dress with wildflowers that flows in the breeze. Her mother, Harmony, is the kind happy beauty of the forest. Moss and her friends laugh and play in the sunflower patch.
Kylee and Kenlee did invite some of their friends out to see their new tree house. Myla loved it there. She spread out a quilt to have a soft place to sit.  Kaysyn and her parents came out to see the tree house and found out that the wildflowers were a great place to see butterflies. They would even rest

on your hands if you were very very gentle. And of course, Brandon
 loved it with his family and friends. Even baby Addison was getting ready to go see the tree house. So was baby Julia. It all turned out to be a wonderful day for everyone except, of course, Wilameana. We just hope that she has learned her lesson.
Then there is Miss Marlee. She let out a yell and said, "Grandma B look what I found. I found my golden egg here in the rocks. It is all in one piece and shiny again!"
It seems all is well in the forest and at the tree house. Just think this story all started with a mistake and a wish.

Listen to the beautiful music and make a wish if you want  or count the wonderful things you already have. Your blessings will be many if you just count them.
