Next time youre in LA visit Caine's Arcade

We saw this video about a month ago and felt truly inspired. These are the kinds of things kids need to be doing more of. Thoughtful and Creative play. Growing up my brother and I spent many hours in the backyard building forts, castles, hideouts, and creatures from cardboard boxes. We took our  Playmobil figures and used them to guard these creations while we prepared for some sort of wild adventure that was about to ensue. Maybe a foam arrow war or some sort of obstacle/race event. I even remember building a landing pad for some old fashioned pillow case parachuting from the roof. DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME!! It never ends well. There's a reason the cardboard box has been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. I hope this video inspires some kids to get out there and be creative and if anyone ever needs any cardboard boxes let me know i've got more than i ever know what to do with.
