jen, jodie + jamie
summers growing up in the 1825 house looked a little like this...
• starting a care bear club with the neighborhood kids
• turning the animal pens in our backyard into forts (jen was in the chicken coops because she had to collect club dues)
• visits to lake mead (with stops at KFC to pick up lunch)
• playing lawn darts at Grandma's and living to tell about it
• making whirlpools in the doughboy (until our dad brought home catfish and decided they needed to live in there)
• trips to disneyland and knott's berry farm (using a paper map and getting lost a time or two)
• water balloon volleyball in our backyard
• dance classes and musical comedies like grease and annie
• bike riding around the neighborhood until the street lights came on
• enjoying suicide slurpees from the 7-11
• making chocolate chip cookies with grandma dee (and stealing stale marshmallows out of her baking drawer)
• cooking mud pies on the playhouse roof
• spending saturday's at the park watching the adults in our family play some serious softball
what were your favorite things to do during the summer as a child?
today we just want to encourage you to get out and have some fun
happy memory making this summer!!

I wish today's children would do more of those kinds of things. It's what I grew up doing (a gazillion years ago) & my children did most of the same things; but so many kiddos today (including some of my grands) spend too much time in front of the tv or playing video games.

ReplyDeleteLook at those cute blonde girls!! During summer when I was little, we made up routines to Whitney Houston and Tiffany. Later learned the "Roger Rabbit" to Bobby Brown. We played alllllll day outside. Good times.
