Started walking in the woods and nature at a very young age maybe 8 or 9 years old. Had learned alot from the animals and plants. Then as I got older fishing was the best, I had never went fishing with intent to catch a fish, was the best excuse to be out and feel the free of life.

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

Two things -- reading for fun and fishing.

I was always outside - running around playing games like tag to capture a prisoner, getting beaten at chess in the garden with the same moves, or showing off my traced drawing of Batman or Superman. But I climbed trees a lot - which I miss most.

When I was little, coloring was a favorite pastime — and I was yelled at for going outside the lines and for coloring people's faces green and purple. When I got older, reading became more entertaining, and I'd stay up late with a book light under the covers just so I could read a little longer.

I grew up in an old coal mining town, and before things were built out, we had a lot of woods and culm banks (big piles of mine tailings). In the summer, me and my posse would find isolated areas and build forts in the woods, and mess around on the big culm banks, looking for fossils and throwing rocks off the top. In the winter, we went sledding and built snow forts for snowball fights. Rode bikes everywhere. It was fun!

When i was really little, I just liked to st outside and feel the sun on my skin.

Reading, drawing horses and chasing anoles then getting them to bite my ears and wearing them as earings .( It's a Florida thing)

As a young child, my favorite solitary activity was to play with toy soldiers in the yard. I could do that for hours and hours. As for group activities,I loved to play any kind of sport, and most summer days played in "pick-up" games all day long. Times were different then, and beginning at about the age of five, on nice days we would go outside early in the day and not come back until we got hungry. That was okay with me.

Picking wild blackberries and walking them to grandmas so she could bake me a blackberry pie! Building forts in the woods. Hiking all over the hills and valleys. Exploring old coal mines. Walking across old train tressels. Swimming in the local rivers and streams.

lol, skinny dipping in a pond that was not far from our house and out of view from a lot of peeping neighbors.

Reading. I was a major bookworm. Still would be, but music and work keep me pretty busy.

Getting my $5 allowance and going to go get food! ?

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.

I used to shoot hoops and hit the baseball with my little bat. I would pretend I was Jack Jackson, the best basketball and baseball player in the world. I had an older brother, John Jackson, he played both sports also but was not as good as me.

Reading.

Camping. I became a member of the Boy Scouts (before it was religiossified) and Explorers and camped all over the place. From Texas an Californie (Yosimite and Tahoe). I only made it to 2nd class but wasn't in the group to advance just have fun. When I finally left I was given 5 merit badges because the leader was sure I had earned them!
