What did you do during the summer?

Played mainly.  There were some chores, but not too many that we didn't have time to play.  We didn't want to go in.  We wanted the days to last longer.  We played hide-n-seek, catch, hopscotch, tag, red rover, and ring-around-the rosie.  We would hide an object the others looked for, telling them if they were hot or cold.  Sounds boring doesn't it, but we enjoyed it.  We would go to the depot sometimes and climb on the coal cars.  Wave at the engineer and the man on the caboose.
