What Did You Do in Summer as You Grew Up?

I was in gymnastics in the morning 3 days a week.  Nights I had softball games and practices.  On off days we would go swimming.  As I got older I began shooting hoops in the driveway.  I remember jumping off the garage roof a couple of times just to prove I wasn't scared to a few neighborhood kids.  My knees wish I hadn't done that now.

I spent a lot of time with my cousins swimming and riding our bikes and just hanging out!

I lived in a small town on a street where there were quite a few kids.  I played outside A LOT!  I rode my bike, played jacks, played hopscotch, played kickball and softball, played on school playground equipment that was just down the street, played tag, hide n' go seek, and Red Rover.  When I wasn't outside, I played dolls or dress up at a particular friend's house or was home reading.  I liked to read quite a bit and would visit the library often. Once in a while we would go to the local roller skating rink! Frankly, it was a great childhood and was a blast!!

I would play with my cousins during the summer. There was a pool in our complex and we tried to go swimming a couple of times. We'd go on the tennis court and try to play there too sometimes. I remember we'd also race our bikes up and down the street. Since I was out of school and we had cable I'd watch TNT toons until Noon on saturdays. A couple of summers our family had a family reunion with a barbecue as well.
