We went on those drives. My dad would go in and out of a shallow ditch sometimes to tease. Or we would drive along the creek and he would tell us he was going to roll up the windows and drive on the creek! We went through waist high mud because he thought it was fun. We went out to eat at restaurants on Sundays alot after church or down to Missouri where my dad's aunt and uncle lived and his cousins and spent the day in the Missouri backwoods! Lots of fun! Simple fun. We made our own type of fun. My kids did too. I remember sharpening a stick on concrete for a makesift knife if I needed one. We made our own games. My son when he was grade school age used a stick for a sword and the trees were his dragons. Imagination is a great thing!
