Well, I'm older now then I was the last time that I have posted. I had a great birthday, thanks everyone!
Do you guys have any birthday traditions? I only had to birthday parties growing up, one was when I was in 2nd grade and the other was when I was in 5th grade. The one I had in 5th grade was pretty awesome, we had a half day of school and we had a field trip to the circus. Heck yes!!! I had 4 or 5 friends over and we stayed up all night, played power rangers, circus, and poker. We did have one kid who fell asleep, so we tortured her by putting bumble balls, remember those?, in her sleeping bag. I don't think I have any pics of the actual party though. Dang, times before cell phones, digital cameras/ camcorders.
We put 2 bumble balls in her sleeping bag, one lesson she learned is that if the birthday girl and everybody else is staying up all night long, then so are you!! They might look soft, but they were hard and hurt if they bumped you wrong. Man, I was evil!!!!
I found a YouTube video of what a bumble ball is, just in case somebody forgot/ doesn't remember.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
My sister LOVED the Ninja Turtles and I liked them okay enough. Anyways, this was another big part of my childhood. I haven't watched the show in ages, so this might be a little rough, lol.
The story starts with four baby turtles being brought home in a fish bowl. Then suddenly the boy trips and he drops the turtles. They down into the sewer and land on some green, glowing snot looking stuff. I'm guessing that there was a rat down there also, because Master Splinter was down in that same sewer too. uhhh....... then they become the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Master Splinter being the genius that he is named his four "sons" after artist. (I'm taking this straight from the theme song) Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but cruel, Michelangelo is a party dude, and Master Splinter is a radical rat.
Now lets talk a little about the villains. We have Shredder, he was the main villain. He looked like a cross between the Tin Man and a cheese grater. He was EVIL!!! But luckily for the Turtles his plans never quite worked out as he would plan. Then there is Krank. He was a gigantic brain, who lived in a robotic human. He was smart and usually the brain behind the operation, but at the same time he could be so stupid. The two henchmen were BeeBop and Rocksteady they were just bumbling idiots, just think Bulk and Skull if you're a Power Ranger fan.
I really don't remember any episodes clearly. My sister had a lot of TMNT stuff, even for her birthday one year she got a Donatello costume. She let me be Master Splinter.
Oh yeah! We kicked some make believe ASS!!!

The Lake
I grew up in a small town where the Little Arkansas cut through. My dad used to take us fishing there all the time. I liked it because of the waterfall and the swinging bridge. This particular lake/ park that I'm talking about was featured in the motion picture "The Picnic" starring Kim Novak. There wasn't any playground equipment or anything, but we had fun making up games and running around. Down below are some pictures of the lake.

Imagination Games
Remember back when all you needed was imagination to have a good time? I do, and one game my daycare buddies and I liked to play was called "Lava." I know that I'm not the only person to play this game because there is a group on facebook about it.
The only things that you needed to play this game were
1.) Legs
2.) Floor
3.) Furniture
4.) Competitive spirit
5.) Imagination
This game could last for hours even if you didn't have the best attention span. The game play is super easy. All you have to do is jump from furniture to furniture BUT if you slipped and touched the floor. You fell and are now dead. The other great thing about this game is that you can make it as difficult as you want. Some times we would throw pillows at each other while we jumped to the next object, for example.
My sister and I spent hours playing this game. Sure, it drove our parents nuts but it kept us occupied for awhile, lol!
