I grew up in a neighborhood that was a circle, so mainly played with the kids on my end. We played outside more than in, climbing trees, made tent houses, rode our bikes all over, had Kool-Aid stands in the summer. Sliding on the hills behind our house on the golf course, everyday in the winter. We even went sliding on the steep long grass covered hills in the summer on cardboard boxes. Was great fun. You hardly ever called friends to play, you went over to their house, rang the doorbell and asked in person.
