It involved spotting VW beetles -- the first to spot one and yell Beager, got a point. See a red one and yell Eager Beager and you got five points, yellow -- yell Bumble Beager for three points. <br /><br />If you called out and you were wrong, you lost that number of points. I can't remember what we did for ties -- I think there was another thing you said.<br /><br />This simple game kept us enthralled for years -- now, as there are fewer VW beetles on the road, some other vehicles might have to be substituted.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-5762978961314187022009-07-17T12:16:27.761-04:002009-07-17T12:16:27.761-04:00Make believe games outside, with the use of forts,...Make believe games outside, with the use of forts, was one of our favorite ways to play.

For the first 3 months I was at the seminary, I thought "exegesis" meant that Jesus had gone somewhere!"Choralgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657324651887737580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-91326788545744346912009-07-17T11:09:31.761-04:002009-07-17T11:09:31.761-04:00Auntie, I am glad to hear that you had forts and c...Auntie, I am glad to hear that you had forts and clod fights too.

I miss that part of being a kid (as well as missing that much snow since I live in TN!). We also went to the local school on weekends and used the swings, sang songs while we sang, and played some sort of hide and seek in a dried creek that wove through trees and shrubs. Great hiding! How nice to have that memory evoked, thank you!altar egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564052536173244610noreply@blogger.com
