The GOOD OLD Days!

I have to agree with you on those things. They were the good old days. We were always outside driving our bikes or playing games and just hanging out and having fun with the neighborhood kids. We never came back home until the street lights came on then we knew it was time to head home.

Yeah they were some fun times! My kids are only allowed on their tablet or phone for an hour per day. I would never allow them to play in the neighborhood by themselves now a days though. People are insane and I love my babies too much!

yes htose were great times no pokemon go lol Im so tired of hearing about that game peopole e ven got hurt whie lookiong for the doo dads life was simpler kids did noit need electgronic gadgets then at alklk

Love that vibrant photo! Yes, those were the good old days!

Michael those were good days for me also.Now with this generation coming it is going to get worse. When my kids come to the house.I say no cell phone,no nothing Sure they get mad tough.I am the dad and this is my house. My rules.lol

That's quite the active photo. I like your memories. How to get kids to play like that again?

Yea those were the good times we had as well. My brothers and me and other friends playing football in our front yard and inventing games with them until sunset when my mom and their moms would yell out to go inside and the struggle for them to get us to go inside lol. I didn't even own a smartphone til an old age lol. In our summers, we used to open up the water holes and wet each other with that since my aunt with the pool moved. We would hear more of the ice cream man with the bell, not the truck in our neighborhood. Man, those were the days and missed those days lol. There are these memes that says, "its a good thing I was born before you, my childhood rocked," with old shows faces and slashed electronics that looks like an iphone lol.

And yes, those were the days when kids in our neighbourhood would play marbles, spin tops, fly kites, catch ants / spiders and let them fight against each other, climb trees...and the list goes on....I wonder how much this generation has missed out

Those were my childhood days too. We played hide and seek. We played balls outside our houses. We played dolls. We communicated with real kids. Oh, those were good old days.

I know what you mean. It seems like a dream almost or so long ago where memories seem to fade.

You are so right, except the hydrant thing, I did all the same.

I agree @BACONSTRIPPSXXX ; those were the good days.

Even way back when I was a kid, my parents had to chase me outside since I was always glued to a book. But, it was fun to play outside with a bunch of neighbourhood kids.

those days sounds like filled with happiness.. We have a festival here, called Holli.. We play with water splashing on each other .. kind of the same way as the picture. But, mostly teens are the ones who're engaged more in these plays

We are all pretty dependent on those devices, including the children. I have one grandson who is absolutely terrible if he can't be on a device of some sort.

I feel the same way . In my childhood , we are always playing outside with friends and cousins . Specially when its full moon we would play hide and seek . Now , it's sad that the children cannot physically be active because they are so into playing in their phones or tablets .

Thinking those days,i feel disappointed sometimes as today's kids missed those type of days and lost in the labyrinth of technologies.

Those were the good ole days...

Oh yes! It is indeed The Good Old Days. When I have kids, I plan to keep them away from the gadgets as much as possible and let them experience the games we played as kids.

That's how I was raised. Good healthy outdoor air. Exercise year round. Barefoot most of the Summer! Watermelon every Forth of July! Did you get to climb trees? Fruit trees? I still dream about that!
