Sometimes, you're just never going to win. . .

We recently had a couple that had been to Tree Houses four years ago (before we started working here). Very nice and happy to be back. They had stayed in the Frog tree house the time before, and asked if they could try another tree house, to experience a different style.

No problem, when we did the tree house assignments, we juggled some other folks around to get the couple into the Toucan tree house, which we typically put honeymooners into.

When they checked in, they were all happy about getting to be in a different tree house. In fact, that was one of their first questions when they arrived; if they were going to be in a different one.

About an hour later, Lucy was walking the pooches up the trail when she ran into the folks.

"How's your tree house?" Lucy asked.

"Can we have a different one, this is small," was the reply.

By that time, there was no chance to move them. They weren't upset or anything, so that was nice.

Ironically, it would have saved us some time and head-scratching if we had put them in the Frog to start with when we did the assignments earlier.
