We were of all shapes and sizes. We were all different ages. Some of us were six or seven, while others were almost twelve. One thing that everyone could get along to do was play in this creek that was right in the center of our neighborhood. Well, it was actually right next to my house. It has always amazed me that all of us kids could structure activities for us to do down there. I remember that it was steep, so we would tie a jump rope to the fence so we could climb down easier. We also made a swing that we hung from the tree. I believe we were able to make all of that stuff from our surroundings as children. For example, one of kids parents was an architect, therefore possibly helping his son with designing and putting together the swing and such. One of the other kids parents was very wealthy, thus giving her the opportunity to buy wood and tools to build the swing and other buildings. Most of the kids didn’t have much to contribute other than being there and making it a more lively time than just work. These are the surroundings my brother and I are being brought up
