We have had some fun days with DS lately. Last week he and I spent some time where I grew up. We took one afternoon and drove DS around to some places I grew up. My Mom was with us so it was a walk down memory lane for her and me.
One thing I noticed was the house we lived in till I was about 9 or 10. I remembered that yard being so much bigger when I was younger! ;-) The one thing that changed in that it seemed longer was the walk my brother and I walked to grammar school. It was kind of sad driving by the old grammar school I attended. Broken windows and all. Yes, we used to walk to school though DS hasn't gotten one of those "I would walk 10 miles all uphill in the snow to school" speeches from me. ;-) I remember loving walking with my big brother to school so it never felt like a long walk. The other difference was in how small the playground looked to me. I used to play chase on that playground and also used to "swing race" other kids. Yep, I was a tomboy. Those were the days.
Then we stopped and spent some time in a park that my Mom used to take us to, especially in the summers, to play in a big sprinkler. Though the equipment wasn't there when I was young and the sprinkler is gone, the park is still there and Mom showed me the bench she used to sit on watching my brother and me play. How neat to share that with DS. It also really took me back down a pleasant walk on memory lane. Enjoy some pictures of our day.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day with DS sharing some of my past and also him playing in the park I grew up playing in. How much fun is that?

So what did W. think of all this? Is it easier for him to picture you as a little girl now?

That is so neat!! What a wonderful trip down memory lane AND what a blessing to share it with your mom and your son.
I have driven past my old house with my kids and wondered how on earth my mom and dad raised 4 kids in that teeny house. When I was a kid I remember thinking that there was all sorts of room to play in our house, now it looks like a house out of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!! Funny, isn't it, how our perspective changes when we become adults?
(I thought my backyard was WAY bigger, too! I think it shrunk.)
Blessings, Beckie :o)
