Answer 2

Tons of stuff, Ghost in the Graveyard (night time hide-n-seek), I had my Barbies camp out, I loved to make tunnels around tree stumps and drive Hot Wheels through them, we took an old barrel and rolled down the hill in our back yard in it, we played Freeze Tag. Gosh, all kinds of cool games that kids just don't play anymore. I can remember being dissapointed when it started to get dark outside and by mom would flash the porch light at us to let us know to come in. We would take our showers and sit outside and listen to the crickets or our mom would give us a glass mayo jar and we would catch fireflies. In the winter of course we would sled down the hill or build snowmen and forts and nail each other with snowballs. I never wanted to grow up! Still don't!

Answer 3

Playing cars with my older brother. We had a little town built on the hill side with all kinds of roads. Stores and houses made of sticks and even a small pond we pretended had fish in it..

Answer 6

Either letting the Bigger kids take us little guys a put us in a blanket and toss us up in the air, over and over again!! Fun-Stuff, right there!! Or, us little sister's used to go & climb way up into the tallest pine trees, and watch out for our bigger sister's & brother coming and climb down the trees, and throw pine cones at their feet, and watch them wonder where it was coming from.....Haha!! Or we'd go down to the river, and swing on the ropes into the water!!! That was so much fun, to us!!! Then, in the winter's up in Oregon we'd make snowmen and have snow ball fights, and just basically freeze, when we were all done.....because our step mom wouldn't let us come in, unless we wanted to go to bed, and none of us wanted to go to bed, so we'd stay outside until our toes were frozen.....then when we'd go and visit our family members who lived out in the "Boony's" we'd go hiking on the 20 acres of land behind their house......until their house looked like a toy house, it was so small and we were so far away from their house!!! Until my brother noticed one time on our adventure to their house, and again our hiking, he'd noticed that we'd gone way too far, because we saw dead & torn up dear!!! Like Mountain Lion's got ahold of them, so our brother told us we'd better head back to the house, or we might get eatin' by a Mountain Lion!! So we did..... And we sometimes just go and sit on this huge Boulder, and just look up at the Beautiful Skies, and sit and pray that one day we'd get to see our real mother again.. (my closest sister & I would do this).. And sometimes when I'm really stressed out, I go to that Boulder in my mind, and escape all of the stresses in my day, that way... Or when I cant sleep at night I think about the boulder and it always works, it puts me to sleep everytime!! Smile!!

Answer 7

Sledding down the big hills in the winter. Especially the disks that would spin all the way down.

Answer 8

Playing baseball. We'd do it non-stop. The people across the street would get mad because some of our home runs used to go in their yard and their dog would go crazy when we went over to get it.

Answer 9

Collecting strawberries, catapillars, ( can't believe I had the courage to do that :o) , play rounders and roll down grassy hills- that was fun!
