Mickwhitt 4,609 #1 Posted November 1, 2023 Seeing the photos of Young Rilee P growing up started me to thinking. Where are my old photos of the days of my youth? Had a dig around and found a few golden oldies. I'd love to see your memories of childhood things guys. Look back at the good old days. This is ne enjoying a day at the beach, probably around 1969. 5 1 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davem1111 2,030 #6 Posted November 2, 2023 Me on the right, probably around 1967-68, with my brothers on a family road trip. Brother in the middle passed away in 1999. I have some earlier ones around but having trouble finding them right now. Oh wait, found one. I'm about 3 in this one, on the bike with Dad, sister on back. This would be about 1961. 5 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 25,533 #10 Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Caberfae ski area in northern Michigan with my Dad circa 1968. 5 years old (started skiing at 3). To paraphrase the famous line from the movie "A River Runs Through It": In our family there was a fine line between skiing and religion...

953 nut 55,184 #11 Posted November 2, 2023 Found a couple more noteworthy pictures from my past. There was a low spot in our side yard and each spring Dad would have a load of sand delivered. Over the summer my friends my brother and I would play with out toy trucks and tractors and by the end of summer we had it spread our for Dad. We also built some one of a kind projects, guess this was our attempt at a covored wagon. 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John @wallfish, that was a Cub Scout project, I am the kid on the right side with another kid on my lap. We built this CAR as our parade entry for the local Fourth of July. One boy got to ride inside while the rest of us marched along pulling it. Fun times for sure. The boy sitting inside with the glasses on went on to win the Soap Box Derby race in Akron Ohio about 1961 or 1962.
