Well, when i was your age

.
this post looked like fun so i stole the idea :)

In other words… I have more shit to blog about that I can’t discuss so here goes a distraction topic… I didn’t even go climbing today so I gots nothing there. Well band practise rocked.

Okay…
things that i loved when I was a kid.

– water skiing at our family camp (not a summer camp… an actual claimed piece of land my folks built an a frame on)

– boat trips on the lake with optional fishing

– getting a dog when i was like 12

– playing with crayfish in the creek at the end of our lake

– playing in lakes

– walking over to and showing up unannounced at my grandfather’s house. i still miss you papa and it’s been 25 years!

– skiing and skating and winter sports

– slip and slide

– watching lightning storms through a picture window and looking out at a big bay.

– family trips to dairy queen

– swedish berries when they were 1 cent each!

– family trips in general

– reading

– family dinners

– playing knights and princesses with the boy children of some family friends. It was great there was me, then a boy two years younger than me, his brother a year younger, my sister a year younger and the last boy two years younger… god we had fun.

– the first time i put my kick and stroke together at a swim meet and knocked 20 seconds off my best time for the 50 free.

– climbing around on blasting cliffs near our house or trees.

– comics for a quarter… and never more than fifty cents.

– playing matchbox cars or uno with the boy next door.

– trick or treating
