Summer reading has never been more fun as classic literature beckons children to climb the Treehouses of Cheekwood. Following advice from Henry David Thoreau to "live the life you have imagined," my daughter, Taylor, Lindsey, Laila and I spent a Sunday afternoon steering the Jolly Roger, calling a group meeting with the conch, seeing a world of color, and swimming with the rainbow fish. The exhibit runs through September 3, 2012.

Thanks for sharing the experience! I'm more inspired to go than ever. The girls are beautiful-they'll always remember that day.
