15.Away from parents,above the crowd,enjoying total freedom-having a tree house can be every little kid's dream.Workshops aimed at teaching people how to build tree houses have become widely popular in America in recent years.Three-year-old Mica and her little sister got a tree house this year.This﹩28,000tree house is a gift from their parents.Roughly three meters above ground,the platform was built into two large trees."The fancy hide-out has a climbing wall and I wanted them to go in to make it feel more like a secret hideout,"said Mica's mother Kristin Keenan.
This amazing tree house was created by Dan Wright.He's the founder of Tree Top Builders Inc.and has built more than 400tree houses since he started the company in 2003."A sense of freedom and independence…that's I think why Americans particularly like tree houses.Because it gets you up off the ground and,for kids,their parents can't reach them anymore.They are up looking down,getting a new perspective on life,"said Wright.
According to Wright,installing the special tree bolt(螺栓),which requires both strength and accuracy,is the most important part of the work."As the tree grows,sometimes you need to move parts of the structure or cut parts of it away to give the tree room to grow each year.It gets ticker,"said Wright.The base is then lifted on top of the tree bolts.It will soon become the foundation of a great tree house,so kids or adults can enjoy playing in the treetops.
