Favorite toys or games growing up

In winter it was my sled and OPERATION
Summer time it was homemade bow and arrows (and my 3 story treehouse)

I always wanted a tree house........Lucky!!!

I still have my Easy Bake Oven, lol. The ones now are so much cooler!
I did have a Barbie bus. When I outgrew Barbies, one at a time, my friends and I would sit on the top of the bus and ride it down a hill, trying to dodge the speedbump, LOL! Good Lord we were stupid, LOL!!

LOL I had the Barbie camping set as well.......And since we are sharing I had a Cher Doll with a lot of those Bob Mackie outfits!!!!! I know... Im sorry, I didn't know she was a Lib when I was 6

I had Chrissy dolls. You turned a knob on their back and their hair would change lengths.
I also had Liddle Kiddles and trolls.
And what about Moustrap??!! I also grew up loveing LIFE game, Twister and it was a friend of my Grammy's that invented the game UNO..
Dear God, I think I'm older than everyone else in here!!
:fifty:

No kidding!

I totally forgot about Uno... I've got countless hours playing that game as a youngster. Those diabolical Draw 4 cards ruled! lol

I went through phases where I'd only play with action figures of a specific theme. They went (in order):

He-Man
Ghostbusters
Ninja Turtles

And I was also pretty into this Dukes of Hazzard car I had. And when I was really little, I had this bath toy that was like a house that you strapped to the side of the tub, and you could make the showers in it work and stuff, it was cool.

Oh, and I was also really into C.O.P.S. action figures for a while, too. And Matchboxes. But, really, Ghostbusters was the thing I was HUGE into (I actually had one of those packs that they wear on their back, AND a trap to catch ghosts in).

Oh, and eventually, I got Sir Evil's hand-me-down Nintendo.

Stretch Armstrong! You remember the gooey stuff inside after he broke? It looked like syrup in the original.

More than meets the eye! And knowing is half the battle.

heh heh, I know what you mean!

I grew up in a small town, so I spent most of my days fishing (we lived on the Brazos River), trapping and hunting. When I wasn't doing that, working or going to school, me and my friends played cowboys and indians, football, or "Army".

I miss those carefree days!.

Yeppers....

Already did..the stick part anyway...rocks were good too used with homemade slingshot.
And someone reminded me of tree houses..man that was fun. I have a scare to this day
from falling out of a tree (grabbed a dead branch)..on the way to the ground I scrapped across the end of another broken branch stickin out from the trunk..it blessed me with a nice 10"er from my belt line up...hurt like hell...never saw the Doc...Boy those were the days!

I still have my bayonet that a 4 star gave me as a "job well done"
for a brief I gave him on Iraq.
