A roof garden by the sea...

The elaborate roof garden of the club house...
*
Just have to share this... we spent the weekend with friends, camping by the beautiful, rugged coast of northern Washington. Our kids were happily engaged in building huts out of the plentiful, silvery drift wood that fills the shoreline. When we parents almost started to feel completely neglegted, a proud delegation arrived and invited us to inspect their new club house, complete with a roof garden and a watering system made out of water-filled kelp bladders, as shown in the picture below. I guess there's no need to worry about the creativity of this "nintendo-generation"...

The watering system made out of water-filled kelp bladders; long stems of kelp drift up from the deep, cold waters of the northern Pacific ocean.

Fantastiskt när barn är så påhittiga!!! Har de månne sneglat på föräldrarna?
Ha det gott!

Visst var det fina grejer! Jag var väldigt imponerat av att de hade gjort en takträdgård, men bevattningssystemet tog nog priset... :-)
