TREE CLIMBING WITH ASTRID

This is my friend Astrid. We climb trees together. She prefers pines. Pine trees make me sticky though and they pick me sometimes to.

I like to climb to a fork in the tree and pretend I am Han Solo flying the Millenium Falcon. Astrid doesn't really understand this because she only speaks German.

"Vast ish?"

"Millenium Falcon!!!"

"Snell"

At any rate, sometimes we race to the tops of the trees. Astrid can scale a 200 foot pine tree in 4.6 seconds. She also makes a mean Pine Comb Cocunut Pie too.

Amanda will only climb birch trees for some reason. I like to climb maples, Arthur Ashe Trees, Oaks, Larches, and Apple Trees.

My tree fort is nearly done. When finished I will be able to see all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Astrid helped me lay the fountation.

Perhaps I need to find a woman like Astrid, 4.6 seconds is some fast work.
The lack of communication must be a hindrance, but her help in your design in your tree fort is magnificent. It just needs lots more spikes and some mine fields and a Death Star Planet Killer Ray, and you guys will be safe in your Fortress of Death.
Send me the recipe for Pine Comb Coconut Pie, please.

Tell Astrid I said HIGH!

Yes... I thought the barbed wire ought to go around the entire base of the tree, but Astrid poo-pooed me.
