Did you build forts as a child?

When I think back to growing up on Andalucia, forts are a big part of my summertime memories... it seems like we were always planning, building, decorating or cleaning up from a fort. There were the simple ones, couch cushion walls with a bedsheet ceiling, and as got older, they became much more involved affairs with bricks and pallets and landscaping.
I can't wait to build forts with Max! Cozying up with a flashlight in a darkened homemade fortress, reading books and telling stories until the wee hours (wee hours being at *least* 9pm!)
It's the simplest things that bring the greatest joy!

Next week's prompt: 4/20/10 What's a skill you don't possess that you wish you did? Is there anything you can do to gain that skill? Why haven't you done it?
