Jumping Jack Frog

Blog Prompt - Today is Frog Jumping Day. Was there a favorite game you use to play when you were a child? Describe how you played the game.

Hide and Seek. Living on an Air Force base when I was in elementary school, we had lots of kids in the neighborhood and in the evenings we would all get together and play hide and seek. We had the whole block to hide in. No yard was immune. The dads would occasionally be sitting on one carport or another watching us. Moms calling us in for baths. Or in our case our mom coming out and laying on the front lawn with pups and I finding constellations.

It's a shame we can't let the Princess or Indy have that kind of freedom. Guess that is the sign of our times.

Hide and seek was fun when I got to play it. There weren't many kids on my street until the Catholic family next door had 6 kids.
