[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 407574, member: 6705"] My parents both worked, so I didn't get to do a LOT when I was really young - I was at day care (until I was 14 - UGH! - but knowing what I know now - I needed it!) I spent quite a bit of time with my Mom's parents, since they were only an hour away, and Grandma stayed at home while Grandpa worked for the city. I'd play in Grandpa's wood bin (he was a very accomplished carpenter - and had a box of sanded scraps just for me), or in the yard. Or I'd make crafts, write, read, and sing. A couple of years, we went on vacation - Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm one year, Disneyworld, Epcot, Universal Studios one year... For about 5 years there was always a summer trip to San Antonio, where my Mom was in college, and Dad and I would go the Riverwalk, the Alamo... One really memorable year my grandparents went to visit a friend in Santa Barbara and took me to Hearst Castle. WOW. After we moved to the Midwest and I was in high school, I'd run around with my friends, hanging out in the parks or their houses playing Dungeons & Dragons, swimming occasionally at the lake. Going to Kings Island because we had season passes. I do remember playing in the sprinkler (but I still do that occasionally). My favorite summer was the year mother in law bought season passes to "The Beach" (a waterpark) and I would go with husband & the kids, or just husband - before we were married. Funny thing... I still can't swim. [/QUOTE]
