I promise this isn't random. It makes me sound like an old man. These are the things I hope my boys enjoy during their childhoods:
-flashlight tag in the neighborhood
-overnight camping with a parent like I did with Brownies
-soggy cheese popcorn-covered fingers at the swimming pool
-tents indoors that stay up for days
-backwards day/pj day/reading day
-home-made play dough (coming soon!)
-gardening with grampa
-rides in the country
-various "sales" to earn money-toys, lemonade, fortune telling, pretty rocks
-boxing with giant gloves and life vests on while jumping on a trampoline (I was Hulk Scheirer)
-real tree climbing. very important to have a special tree
-journaling. i still do this obviously
-last day of summer vacation fun day
-make your own recipe fun in the kitchen. i loved this
-a car ride where you tell dad where to go, for hours
-exploration of fields, woods, streams (definitely started this!)
-friday nights at pizza hut and k mart! woohoo!
I hope to add more to this list.

well, if you get to be an old man, I get to be an old woman because these made tears come to my eyes... The boxing memory made me laugh out loud. These are the simple fun memories I hope my babies get to enjoy as well, isn't it funny the more "advanced" we get the more I just want for the simple things...
