We discussed trying to catch a baby deer this spring and doing a recreation pic.
One of the all American childhood things we did that isn't listed...we had an old Honda three wheeler. In the winter after chores, dad would tie an old plastic sled behind it and pull us around the pasture. I think the other all American childhood thing was the odd sized
, make shift baseball diamond in the yard, and the pasture by moms garden when we got bigger. After chores or when my cousins and friends were at our place, we played a lot of ball. If it was just us, we had a vintage catchers mitt and we'd practice for little league. Ha.te to know how many fastballs I threw at my brother between 4-6 grade.
We were pretty broke but the older I get the better I realize we had it. When you're broke, you raise a big garden and eat pork chops and cured bacon. I'm so fortunate as it taught me how to succeed today.
I'm trying hard to give some of these same things to my kids today....if I can get them away from a screen device.
