The Joy of a Bunk Bed

To the average busy adult, this may just look like 5 kids climbing on a bunk bed.  But to the children playing it is not a bunk bed, and to one another they are not children, they are just themselves.

To a toddler a bunk bed is monkey bar training and a place where only they can fit when standing straight up.  It is a trampoline with a roof.

A bunk bed is a window to play.....PEEK-A-BOO! 

To a first grader and a preschooler a bunk bed is an indoor jungle gym- or the perfect perch for inspecting dust covered fan blades.....and telling your mom's friend she really needs to clean them.

A bunk bed is a place for snuggling and hanging out.  A place to someday stay up late and tell secrets and stories, and then sleep in and smell apple cinnamon pancakes tiptoe under door.

And these children on the bunk bed are not just children.  They are childhood friends- and though their memories may fail them as they grow older, they'll always remember the joy of a bunk bed.
