As we were driving the last 3 miles home from a week at the cottage, we spotted the car buffs who were out all up and down Telegraph Road watching the muscle cars that were being shown off by their owners.
Our tenacious one was curious about what was going on, and after I explained it to her she asked if we could go watch for a while. I told her we could go after supper.
After we were all unpacked she spotted the empty boxes and asked if she could have two of them. Her mental wheels were spinning. She knew that the folks on Telegraph had places to sit and food to eat and so she got creative.
She glued a box lid down to make a table and then she took another box apart and glued it to the first and cut a hole at one end creating a wagon-type handle. Then she packed her snacks (fig newtons and Oreos) and grabbed a towel to sit on.
She realized she would need pockets for her snacks so she put on her hot pink bathrobe and she was ready to go. My dear one and I walked over to Telegraph with her and crossed to the median to sit in the shade. She laid out her towel and bathrobe for seats and proceeded to eat her snacks and watch the cars.
She asked her daddy to carry the box home as the noise created by dragging it was a bit much. :-)
We were only there about 15 minutes but I'm quite sure she'll remember it as a great time!
