My cousins and I would hit the woods running and play all day. Some of the newer toys and games are great, but I also think there's a lack of imagination with some kids these days.Karohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244357551644582994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159706.post-8688099137938634212010-05-28T17:56:31.773-05:002010-05-28T17:56:31.773-05:00Ha, you played Reindeer games!Ha, you played Reindeer games!Bernienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159706.post-63068395932681253222010-05-27T14:35:27.984-05:002010-05-27T14:35:27.984-05:00I so agree and I also miss those days when my kids...I so agree and I also miss those days when my kids would turn a plain cardboard box into all kinds of things...a castle, a cave, a race car, a tent in the wilderness.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583817947078375493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159706.post-24788405765686031992010-05-27T11:20:03.869-05:002010-05-27T11:20:03.869-05:00My computer's acting up, so that all I see is ...My computer's acting up, so that all I see is a white box in where I suspect is a picture of a cutie playing with the M & M figures. I'll picture her as I know her to look and say "she's darling" ('cause she is!). :-D<br /><br />My husband and I often reflect on the difference in the way kids play from the way we played as children. For one thing, we walked, rode our skateboard, or rode our bike everywhere we went. I remember my bike being my most 'necessary' possession. It got me places! ;-)<br /><br />Of course, life was safer back then. Part of that could be that we lived in a small town, but there really was less evil in the world. We'd leave the house on a summer morning, and often not return until we heard our moms calling us for dinner that night. After dinner, we'd head back outside to chase lightening bugs, or just lie on the grass and watch the stars. Staying inside would've been torture. Now, I so seldom see kids playing outside. Yes, life has changed so much since then.Rennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628198694622790891noreply@blogger.com
