Default Things you did as a kid....

What do you remember doing as a kid which really REALLY excited you?

yesterday me and the kids made a tent in Josh's room, they spent nearly all day in it, and both slept on the floor in it last night it didnt even fall down like mine used to, cos we pegged it to everything possible





wish i could make an adult sized tent from duvet covers, me and my brother used to do it when we were kids and thought it was the coolest thing ever

TREEE HOUSES!!!! legend!


i remember making harneses out of strings and climbing up into the tree house at the local park... then absailing down kinda... if it had broken, we would have probably killed ourselves... then there wsa the "fire drills" when someone randomly shouted fire drills, you would have to climb over the side, then hang over the edge... and then shift round the corner then drop down...
