Painting the Castle

This tree is really getting the business from these kids. They insist on wearing gloves when they play on it. Jovie likes to "paint" it with a stick and Ikey likes to peel off the bark. Jovie sticks her hand down in one of the stumpy things and gathers up all the (termite-y?) sawdust to throw in Ikey's hair. I don't know why this is called the castle. One of life's mysteries...
