Not a lot of free play, the way I had it as a child. We would play outside until the street lights came on and then beg to stay out for a little while and play some more. We played kickball, freeze tag, and rode bikes everywhere.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877482166836985523.post-27899226293305907322016-11-14T19:39:45.968-08:002016-11-14T19:39:45.968-08:00Hello Summer,
