My Blue Island Backyard
Smelling a flower on some contraption I don't remember - not sure it's our house
Your Uncle John and me in our pool
I spent endless hours in the sandbox. I loved making "sand pies" by adding a little water to the mix.
In my sandbox
Then there was the little blue vinyl rectangular pool. I remember being in my floaty tube and my skinny butt got stuck in it. I was head and knees in the float. My head was above water so I wasn't going to drown, but I was in a very uncomfortable position and was kind of freaking out.
I was yelling for my Mom (in those days I guess kids were left in pools while Mom's stayed in the house) but she couldn't hear me. I think she was vacuuming or something. I also think John was in the pool with me but he was too little to help. I managed to finally get out, but I was scared. How things have changed with child rearing.

But the most time was spent on my beloved swingset. All these years I thought I had a big slide, but I don't see one in the photos. I know there was a glider and you can see that in one of the pictures if you look close enough.
