Jump rope, Jacks, Hopscotch, exploring on my grandparents farm in Perris, CA. and so many others

Absolutely. There’s a reason our parents sent us outdoors to play. And it wasn’t just to gain some peace and quiet inside.

Yes, I loved (and still love) the out of doors. Climbing trees, playing ‘horses’ (you should have seen us ‘galloping around,’ escaping from the cowboys!), making up stories to go with the action. 🙂 I do fear for the current and future generations. When I visit the grandkids, I gather them up and say “let’s go for a walk,” or to the park, or bike riding. I hope they learn to love it, too. There’s only so much ‘life’ we can get from the screen…
