Riding horses, singing, swimming in lakes, fishing, going outside in the AM and Mothers saying "be back b4 dark", we'd wander for miles and never got raped, kidnapped or even thought about it. Laying on the warm (car less) road with my dad looking up at the night sky looking for satillites (sp?). Bosko chocolate.

LoverOfTruth

Sitting in my classroom Watching the Fresh Snow Coming Down. I couldn't wait to get outside!

Blowing stuff up and playing with fire. Pocket knives and BB guns....

flipper

Shooting marbles and collecting them. Fishing for trout on a mountain lake. ( Still do that ). Looking at the sky and stars. ( Still do that ) I'm just a grown up boy at heart. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

misanthropic

Jumping ramps with my bike
eating the buds off the orange trees
and snowbird reminded me of blackberry pancakes my mom made when we went camping- picked fresh off the mountain. mmmmmm
cowboy coffee at the campground - which was good anyway (coffee grounds and all) because who can live without coffee

bikerchic

Waking up early on Saturday mornings and going for a walk with my brothers down the railroad tracks looking for hobo camps. Then putting two penny nails on the tracks waiting for the train so we could play war with our army men and our new swords.

Climbing my Grandma's walnut tree as high as I could get before she yelled at me to get down!

Playing statue maker with my cousins in Granny's backyard and hide-n-seek.

Family reunions in the park, roasting marshmallows, hot dogs, Bar-b-Que, and eating all the good home made food that my Aunts would slave for days to make and yum the ice cold watermelon! Playing endlessly with my cousins.

Skating, biking, card and board games that would last for days. Anyone have marathon Monopoly games?

Wrestling with my brother.

Our neighborhood war games those were fun times in the summer! Now days it might mean something entirely different!

Popsicles and the ice cream man.

Going barefoot down the creek behind our house. Swimming in the canals dodging water snakes, yikes!

Trips to the beach and camping at the beach.

Knowing a trip anywhere meant our entire family of 6 and several stragglers in a two door coup and no seat belts!

Listening to KRLA on my transistor radio low at night under the covers singing myself to sleep.

Cold foggy school days walking to school when you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Lunch in the cafeteria and recess! Dodge ball, tether ball, crossing bars and jump rope were my favorites.

Oh Mrs. Jones,

I had forgotten all about chineese jump rope and jacks. Hopscotch was a favorite too

Going barefoot & playing in the creek behind our house, not worrying about snakes.

Playing ball in the road

Riding our bikes downtown or walking to the store downtown without fear of getting kidnapped.

Staying out past dark playing & catching fireflys

Picking apples off the tree and feeding the cow's & pigs in the pasture across from our house

Putting up the tent in the backyard and camping out

Wearing our under-roos outside to play in. (I had wonderwoman, my little brother had superman)
