For me it was playing all day at the summer recreation programs in town, we would bike there & play all sorts of games from tennis, hopscotch, basketball, volleyball, hand ball, bumper pool, darts, ping pong, shuffleboard, board games, 4 squares, dodge ball, etc. Each sport you participated in earned you points & just showing up earned you points as well!
We would go 3 times a day just to get our sport on & earn the points, at the end of summer, the kids with the most points got a free bus trip to a 6 flags type amusement park for the day!
It was AWESOME, I remember winning toys and stuffed animals doing the ring toss, bowling, darts etc. which we did all summer, so most of us won prizes while we were there!!!
It was so much fun, I got to go 4 summers in a row!!!!!
I also remember hanging out with the neighbor hood kids playing kick the can in the alleys & running under the water sprinklers to cool off while eating popsicles!
Also had many Koolaid & lemonade stands which I think started me on the road to being a successful business woman! I remember giving the $ I made to Jerry's kids being my best friends brother had MD.
I also picked and sold blueberries & raspberries, strawberries that I picked in the woods or uncles garden & sold them by the pint on street corner too & at the farmers market also!
Thanks for making me reminisce, earning $ & being physically fit as a kid certainly made me a successful business woman who remains fit & active today!
