18. Go shooting - I used to do competitive rifle shooting with my dad, so we went to this shooting game I've never been to. Way fun - and makes me want to join a club down here.
19. Play monopoly! (This is something we always did when it snowed - first, we'd make a bobsled run, then play monopoly and drink hot chocolate! I love playing all board games. I wanna create a monthly game night - anyone interested?)
My dad and I ended up playing until 2 am, and then went to bed. The next day we played, and then agreed to call it a tie if no one won in the next few turns. We called it a tie. Dad, good game!
20. Play on the Emily Dickinson playground -this is my elementary school.
You would just hang upside down and play hand games with people on the other side of this bar contraption.
The tire swings were marked off... not sure why...
So, we used them any way! :) When I was younger, I would always push the swing for all the kids. Believe it or not, I was a TALL elementary kid - I was 5'2" in 4th/5th grade, and only ever grew an inch taller. I even wrote a children's book when I was little on how I pushed the swing one time, and ended up hitting my head on the back of that brown pole.
Our elementary school has the "old school" and the "new school" portions to it. This is a new playground in the new school.
Jarad.
The playground that was there when I went to the new school.
So... tell me... how do you use this part of the playground? Kenz and I think it's one way... the boys think it's another way. So seriously, comment and tell me.
21. Eat omlets for breakfast- made by my dad!
22. Put water on dad in church - when we drink the water in sacrament meeting, my sisters and I would take the leftover water that you get on your fingers, and put it all over my dad. We always would sing the hymns with the hymn book upside down or sideways. Did both of these. :)
23. Play in my cave
24. Play on the trampoline - this is about as much as I could play in a boot:
25. Save the frogs - the frogs get into our pool because they want the water, and then die because of the chlorine. So, you have to take the frogs out and take them back to the river. They probably end up going back and our efforts are pointless, but we do try.
And that ends the 25 things I did as a kid, and ends my golden birthday!
Thanks to everybody who made it so special and fun!

So that blue swirly pole thingy. I know how you use them. We had one at one of my elementary schools. You sit on the swirly part and then twist down.
I agreee w/ angelina.
