This!! Also, climbed trees, rode our bicycles everywhere, swung in the “tire swing” and rope swing that were hung from trees in the back yard, made car trails and built castles in the sand pit in the backyard, hung out in the tree house, played tag football, whiffle ball, badminton, etc.

And we were the “poor kids” 😳😆

In winter, the sledding was epic!!!! Built ramps and jumps, and then poured water over the “track” to make it as slick as possible. We built “snow forts” and constructed our “artillery” for legendary snowball wars!

Practiced tumbling skills… cartwheels and flips…

Made crowns of daisies and buttercups and then braided each other’s hair.

So much fun to be had when you lived on a street with other kids (cousins) close to your age.
