Secert Tunnels

You know how when you were little and you always dreamed of having tunnels in your house when you grow up? Well my boss does and they were WAY fun! They have a set of tunnels in between the main floor and basement in their house. They are still painting it but it has windows and really nice carpet and lights. When I build a house I would love to have something like this.

We went to his house for our work Christmas party but anytime we weren't eating or playing games we were army crawling in the tunnels. It was a pretty good workout.


To go into the tunnels you would have to dive head first into one of the openings in the living room. There is enough room for a little kid to crawl and turn around in it but for us we had to go in the way we wanted to face so we had to dive in and then we would have to army crawl everywhere.

They had a basket from IKEA that they cut a hole in the bottom to cover up the tunnel entrance. If you didn't know that there was a hole in the floor those pictures would look pretty weird.

Kyle in the tunnels. You can see some of the windows on the side. If you were downstairs in the game room you could see the people in the tunnels crawling along the ceiling.

Me coming to one of the openings in the tunnel.

Kyle and I in a mini room that was were two of the tunnels met together. It was almost big enough for us to sit up. We were in the "attic" of a closet.

Another way to get in and out of the tunnels is through a hole in the wall on the stairs. It was pretty cool.

There was a step up at one point that was probably only best for the kids to use but we had to try it out. I could make it through just fine but there were only a couple guys that could fit. Its only about 2 feet long until it opens back up again but it was just a little too long for Kyle. He was able to squish through if he breathed out all of his air and then had somebody pull or push him though. We was stuck for a second in this picture. haha



Video of the tunnels. Its a little shaky cause Kyle was army crawling through but you can see it a little bit. Jake and I are at one end waiting for them to go and Kyson is at the other.
