I played in the woods. Day or night you could find me playing in the trees. Looking for critters or building forts.

Trick or Treating on Halloween. Free candy!

Build model cars and planes

I drew on rolls of paper from the newspaper where my Dad worked. I could make a picture any lenght I wanted. Some got rather long. I also made cities in the stone driveway, scraping out roads and building houses for my army men and hot wheels. And baseball, football, tennis, and the deadly art of Jarts!

Play in dirt and make camps and play games.

Play, play, play.

Sneaking out of the military housing area to play video games at a local arcade. A few times I got caught sneaking back in.

Play in the woods behind the house

Make frog grenades and throw them at girls...what a mess

I used to love to dig in the dirt. I would build cities, roads, and if there was water nearby, dams so that I could dam the water and then destroy the city I built below me. Anytime there was water I dug pits for rivers... Let’s jut say it was difficult for my mom to keep the house clean.

I loved my LEGOs and my books. Video games came a bit later. As an only child, I had a lot of "go play quietly in your room" time, but I didn't mind. That's where all the fun stuff was anyway!

Ride bikes, watched tv, listen to music, ride the swings, and just play outside.

We had a series of big field behind our house with drainage ditches, some abandoned barns, a burned out playhouse, etc.

We loved catching crawdads, exploring the barns, using the stuff we found to fix up the playhouse, building tunnels between things propped up by flimsy wood and old farm equipment parts.

Basically, just putting our lives at risk unknowingly. So, kid stuff.

Climb a tree and play fighter pilot

When I was eight, building tree houses high in mango trees, making and shooting sling shots with my sidekick, the boy next door.
I would also drop ripe mangoes that were so high in the trees you could barely see them, by hitting the stems, then catching the mangoes before they hit the ground, so they wouldn't bruise.

Reading.

Be in nature - climbing trees and trekking through woods and playing in snow and mud and lakes. Also loved reading, writing, colouring, drawing, other crafty/artsy type shit and handy stuff - lincoln logs, legos, bionicles and carpentry, spreading mulch and learning about that kind of stuff.

Has to be reading. Only child. Navy brat. I would spend my allowance on books or magazines.

Play kill the Nazis with the neighbor boys. Raised in an isolated rural setting, I was heavily imprinted by boys. Left me a square peg in a round world when I was forced into to the city at 7 years of age. When it rained I would be inside making mythical monsters out of Tinker Toys. So girlygirl. =0}

One of my favorite passtimes was wandering in the forest and playing in the creek by the beaver dam north of our tillable fields.

However, my top passtime then and now is studying to learn new things and in many cases learning how to apply what I have learned. Been that way all my life.
