The carnival with really neat games, a huge ferris wheel, only a wooden roller coaster (that rattle snakes hid under)
Playing in the creek with teenage friends and acting like a fool but noone cared.
Baling hay and you thought the sun was gonna cook you.
How about teasing the cows at the electric fence

Yeah! (nostalgic sigh) Catching fire flies, baling hay, walking the bean fields and corn fields chopping out burdock, morning glory and wild asparagus for 25 cents a hour. Cleaning out the dead weeds and grass from a watering hole so it can run clear. Not telling dad where the fox den was. Sneaking down to the creek to watch the raccoons wash their supper. Doing somersaults down a grassy hill, running through the grove to the raspberry and rhubarb patch. Currying the horses and having them nuzzle you for the carrot, apple or whatever treat you had hidden in your pocket. Running wildly down the lane to the mailbox with all the dogs running with you. Lying in the hayfield eating clover blossoms Climbing the tallest tree you could, or climbing the windmill. Chasing chickens into the coop in the evening when it cooled down. Watching the cats stalking their prey. We didn't have electric fences yet.

But, yeah, I remember.

Uh, I've done all of them except teasing cows at the electric fence. That's just cruel.

wooden roller coasters sure were rickety, hurt my butt!

and yea, we'd be in the creek until well after dark! and you'd have to get checked for ticks all the time!

Some of those things brings back real memories while others makes me wonder if I was missing something.
