Top Ten Tuesday: We Did it...Shouldn't Your Kids?

You have seen them, all those FB posts, and blog feeds about how we are lucky that we survived our youth because we drank from the hose, and rode bikes without helmets...  Its true, we did survive.  And it is true, this generation has a lot more rules to follow for sure than we did.

Its hard to imagine many families letting (or ordering) their kids outside for the day, without any tabs, relying on only a ringing bell and a assumption that they would get back in time for dinner.  And though I would not recommend riding a bike without a helmet these days, it is easy to reminisce and think of our childhood as simpler and more fun. 

So while you are actively remembering the epic capture the flag games, and walking to school in the snow and rain, 4 miles, up hill both ways... lets think about the fun things that we did as kids and encourage ours to do the same!

This top ten list, are things that we all did as kids, and maybe just maybe, if we do them with ours we will remember that feeling of wonder and love of the outdoors.

So in honor of all of us surviving the wilderness as children, here is the list for this week:
