the card board box on michigan avenue ..

we got to chicago late afternoon on sunday .. 

the children's museum at the navy pier had an exhibit about reusing cardboard creatively ..

that sounded fun so we went ..

they had all kinds of card board .. all sizes  and shapes ..

the only limit was your imagination ..

so we turned the kids loose .. 

this is cash's robot ..

he still has no name so we just call him robot ..

so we made our card board goodies .. built a tower .. 

climbed thru a maze and played on the fire truck .. with robot i might add ..

now it is time to go back to the hotel ..

since it was cold and windy we thought we would take the trolley half way 

and then walk the rest of the way down michigan avenue and do a

 little window shopping as we head back  ..

as we are getting on the trolley cash says .. mom will hold robot .. he is to big to carry 

sure cash .. 

and so i carried robot ..

 all the way down michigan avenue ..

i windowed shopped with robot ..

tripped over the curb with robot and bumped into the nicest man with robot ..

when we finally made it back to the hotel cash told me that i could not carry robot anymore 

because now he was all banged up

i told cash robot better watch out or he will find himself recycled 

this is what ellie made .. it is a dog .. it is the size of her hand and it fits into a pocket .. 

and yes .. we brought robot home with us ..

he is sitting on top of the pool table ..
