fall down the rabbit hole

This is pretty much exactly what I always dreamed of having as a kid: kind of a fort-like magical cabin in the woods whenever our family ventured there (how can you not look at that picture and think of something like Peter Pan?!).  I used to have quite the imagination as a child.  Children in general have amazing imaginations.  I often think about how much creativity my mind has lost and how I wish I had that wacky sense of make-believe again.  I remember in grade 6 I wrote a short story about a magical land- and it was good!  I've sat down a couple times in the past couple of years and attempted to write out some creative shorts- but I think my grown-up brain has become too, well, realistic!  Maybe I should make it a summer goal to "fall down the rabbit hole" for an afternoon and  see what types of tall tales I can come up with...
