When I was little we had a small creek that ran behind the house.and all thru the woods in my neighborhood...I used to put my Dads hipboots on and play in there everyday.....all thru the woods...catching all kinds of creatures....
My brother put me on a sled and said he would get behind me...and didn't ..just pushed me and at the bottom of the hill was that creek...I misses it by a hair...
Used to ride our bikes to school. No helmets...I stood in the car next to the driver...Never seat belts, sunblock, or shoes....
