I hope in a way I can recreate that for my kids and make sure they have that type of independence. Looks like you had a great childhood!

Olan Mills pictures -- yea!! I loved swinging. We had a playground size slide that my dad purchased from a local park that was renovating and it was huuuuge. In the summer we would spray it with the hose and put a tarp at the botto to make it a giant water slide haha and we rode down it on wax paper to go really fast!
