name games or anything that you grew up with

[Templeofthespirit]

I used to take the head off my sisters dolls and use them as a tennis ball.
Boy did I get it. My sister was much tougher than me and would beat me up.

Those were the days.

sit and spin, man that thing made me dizzy!

 

[One day at a time]

What about Chiclets in a box or the bits in a package. My grandma always carried them in her purse and pass them out to us in church...hahaha! (my Dad was the pastor!) Love those memories!

 

[thriftyEvie]

yep, what about the games w/ water that you had to press the button to get enough pressure behind it to get the basketball through the hoop?

 

[One day at a time]

oh, I loved those......

root beer floats down at the local pharmacy store.....

 

[One day at a time]

which that reminds me too.....


Lemonade stand on the corner.....sitting out there with our neighbor friends trying to sell a cup....hahaha!

 

[thriftyEvie]

my mom used to save the UPC things on the back of our Country Time Lemon aide canisters and eventually we turned them in,in the mail and got a real lemon aide stand from them. Oh how I loved to sell my lemon aide near the roadside

 

[One day at a time]

Did any of you collect kool-aid packets and turn them in to buy something? I had a Choo-Choo Cherry pillow! I still have it somewhere! What a riot!

 

[thriftyEvie]

yes,I got a plastic kool-aid pitcher

 

[One day at a time]

We had B.C. (the comic strip cartoon) bowl. I still have it and my kids always want to use that bowl!

 

[Templeofthespirit]

what's B.C?

 

[thriftyEvie]

remember the sea monkeys?,
I just loved them

 

[One day at a time]

what's B.C?

they were a comic strip (cartoon characters) of cavemen with clubs and fur skin clothes. I don't know....I just know that we had some bowls with them on it and we loved them! Hahaha!

 

[One day at a time]

remember the sea monkeys?,
I just loved them

we used to have sea monkeys and even got them one or two times for our kids....so they love them too!

 

[One day at a time]

climbing trees and building forts--good times!

 

[Templeofthespirit]

loved climbing trees as a kid. We had two large elms in our yard with lots of moss covered branches. You could see for miles.

Funny how a simple tree kept us so busy as kids.

 

[thriftyEvie]

wish we could still climb them, I use to climb up in our maple tree and read my book for hours.

remember The Family Tree house by Kenner?

 

[One day at a time]

I remember this. we didn't have one but we had the little people! We loved them!

We loved to play trucks in the dirt--building roads and such. Good times with my brothers!

Volkswagen bugs

My parents bought an orange VW bug as a family car. Those cars used to sit in the car lots with large sunglasses on the front window. Man, oh, man! I wanted the one with the glasses.

I still remember taking a vacation and driving 1600 miles with 6 of us crammed into that little car.
