I don't want to go back to those days entirely, but I sure would like for our kids to have a little bit more of that unstructured play time today!<br /><br />Did you see that video? I love it...and especially the little white-haired lady in the left foreground as she watches it all happen around her! :-)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-5217653413802951102010-05-06T07:41:14.998-05:002010-05-06T07:41:14.998-05:00Great advice Jo, and lots of great memories too.
