Oh boy, where to start!! I grew up in Iowa so my life was outside....hated to stay in to clean or cook! I can't imagine growing up without an imagination. Snow forts, snowball fights, snow igloos, fox and goose in the snow, sledding, ice skating, and that was only the winter!!! We loved being outdoors and had such nice clean fun..... those were wonderful days. I am so glad to see that other grandma's get out and play with their grandkids also. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and I hope you will continue to "play" !!
