Looking OUT our picture window

The park here is celebrating a park anniversary here, so there have been games for the kids. We are parked across from the concession stand and entertainment area, so we can watch the activities.

(Just racing barefoot was fun)
Some of the games take me back to my childhood. Camping kids have the electronic toys, but still get into the older physical games as well.

(I never rolled a hoop with a stick, but it must have been fun)
It was funny, yesterday they had some ‘Stick-horse’ races.  I watched the little guys and remembered I could ride that stick all day, shooting from the ‘saddle’.
I sat remembering some of the stuff I did as a kid and cannot imagine why it was so much fun.  Did you ever just roll an old worn out car tire? Shoot, I could roll one all day.  I cannot remember what we did with the tire when we were through.
I remember a truck inner tube once, that was large enough to get inside the ‘hole’ and roll down a hill.

I watched here as the kids played ‘Hop-Scotch’.  Now I am wondering where the name came from. Shirl taught me that one when I was 4 or 5. We used a piece of colored glass (I forget what we called it???) but  watching, I was reminded, that you stood in the square where your glass was and had to stand on one foot and pick it up. I had forgotten that. I watched as most of the kids lost their balance, especially the boys.

I remember watching in awe as kids, especially girls, could jump with two ropes and  and do ‘hot water’ or something like that with the rope swinging girls getting faster and faster.
It is fun to see kids have fun without the electronic toys. Darla and all the folks in the North Woods do a lot of inner acting with the grandloves away from the electronic toys, I admire that.
What was your favorite game?
