Oh, how I loved Girl Scout camp. Girl Scouts had a lot to do with the kind of woman I am. Before feminism, I knew I was strong and capable.

I LOVE reading this thread. It has brought back so many many memories. Thank you, Lisa!!!
I was about 6 years old. I had on one of my favorite dresses. A large black and red plaid, fitted top, puffy sleeves with a white cuff at mid upper arm, full skirt and a white peter pan collar. I loved that dress! I wore white anklets and my white and black oxfords. LOL
I was on the back patio having a tea party with my dolls and stuffed animals. Was so much fun. I often think of that day.

I remeber wearing my black and white shoes for the first time to school,
I was so proud. My mom made alot of our clothes cause we were poor,
But I thought they were better then the just bought ones.
On the way home we would collect bubble gum comics to get free things
sent to to us after getting so many comics collected.

I remember the time we traveled by car from California to Washington DC, We would
look for the alphabet as we travel or count certain cars. Was a long 29 cents a gallon
gas trip.

I remember scaring my younger cousin til he wet himself. We took him to the cemetery and told him some story about how if you make to much noise you would wake the dead and that's why they had fences around the cemetery so the dead couldn't get out. Then my brother set off some blackjacks and we all took off running. That poor boy ran through a pasture full of grass burs with no shoes on. We then told him if he walked in warm cow dung his feet wouldn't hurt any more. We were such little hellions. Put blackjacks in red ant beds and blew them up. Put catsup on the phone and my Dad ended up with it in his ear. Asked my Mother for things while she was sleeping. She would say uhhhuu and we would take that as a yes. You know now I know why I got Sooooo many spankings.

Looking out my bedroom window at night to the house that was up the hill and had blue christmas lights. When you squinted your eyes all the lights turned into stars!

I too remember squinting my eyes at our christmas tree...the lights looked so pretty that way. In fact.. I still do that every year, and so do my girls.
Wacky stickers...does anyone remember those? We would collect them all..and trade them. We could care less about the gum that went with them. They were crazy and some were very sickening..but we Loved them!!

My family went to Florida for Christmas each year to get away from the cold Chicago winters. I remember watching the boats in the harbor with lots of Christmas lights on them going in and out of each little bay while playing Christmas songs. It was wonderful!

Going to the outdoor concert on the 4th of July and then later watching the fireworks. We still do that every year with the kids. Always run into people we haven't seen all year.

How about where you dropped something behind some while everyone is in a circle.
and then they tired to catch you before you got their spot.
Kick the can too.
I wish kids would know the fun we had.

I made houses out of boxes for my son when he was little just like my parents did for us. He loved it. He is almost 19 now and he brought his little sisters two boxes today and helped them cut holes for doors and windows and them colored them. They love them.
