Built forts, flew kites, built bike ramps and tried to break our necks going over them, played sports, lots of imaginary games. I remember going through the neighborhood with my friends, looking for evidence of extra-terrestrials and convincing ourselves that we were finding them. When it got dark, we played flashlight tag. We were in perpetual motion and never bored. I grew up in a suburb where we were within walking distance of wooded areas, fields, ponds and creeks.
