Coming home ONLY for food and when forced by darkness. Being indoors was like a prison sentence. And I cannot remember ever being bored. Great article!

I recall being little and going out to the middle of our yard, lifting my arms up and spinning until I got dizzy. Then I'd stop and think, "wow I can feel the world turning." The imagination needs lots of room to turn and grow.

Kids today would probably love to have a little more unstructured time to just play. It really does help the imagination to grow. As much as I love the Internet and all of its capabilities- I am so happy it wasn't around when I was little because I got to climb trees, skateboard, ride my bike, and play games with the kids on my street. Thanks so much for posting... now I am thinking about the good old days. :)<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485436326220833334.post-89106795048859829652012-04-14T13:54:47.154-04:002012-04-14T13:54:47.154-04:00Yes, Betty.

I don't have grandkids yet, but when that day comes I'd love to take them to Lancaster, PA. to experience that culture. I took my own kids there a hundred times! Even still, just riding bikes and playing outdoors at the beach, etc. It's all good stuff.
