Play dates - when did that get so big. I used to go out the door after breakfast and had to be home or call when the street lights went on.
Played some form of ball (base,foot,basket) for hours and hours on end at the park or school.

Same here.. we would go out play.. come home eat go back out.. No cell phones.. my mother would just whistle and we had to come home.
We played Giant steps.... Red light Green light.. Doctor...

I just drove back through the neighborhood this past week - 1st time in about 5 years. I used to know every house and what kids lived there. Now don't know hardly any of them.

Wow - that brought back a memory - my uncle (RIP) lived right accross the street. When he wanted his daughter to come home or for that matter any of us - he would go out and whistle. You could hear it for blocks!

I did that that last weekend ! It's 100 miles from here.
I seen 2 kids riding bikes that was it.
We had tons of kids running around crazy all the time.
Building forts and play dolls. Snow ball fights with at least 30 kids playing at a time. It was a great place to be a kid!

Except for the snowball fights, we didn't get snow where I grew up.
