When we're little, we're blessed with the ability to be anyone in our own backyards: superheroes, spies, master gardeners. My little brother, though, loved to don a red baseball cap and turn the hose on me in the yard in his attempts to fight a raging fire that never, sadly, seemed to leave me alone.
If we'd had Playhouses.com's Olde Firehouse Playhouse, though, my brother and I would have found a perfect solution for our outdoor adventures. I could have merrily kept house indoors, and he could have turned the hose on every bug in our yard.
The two-story Olde Firehouse Playhouse, $6,749.99 at www.playhouses.com, features its own fire hose, clapboard wood construction, a skylight, barn-style front doors, a side door, a brass fire bell, bright colors and (perhaps best of all) an interior fire pole from the upper level loft to the main floor.
