Our recess was in the parking lot. No fun things like monkey bars or swings. We did play hopscotch, jumprope and sometimes line tag. Boys would be flipping baseball and other trading cards.I mostly was a loner and read books. I can't remember what we did when the weather was too bad to go out there though. I do remember playing that 7-up game. I enjoyed reading about your recess memories.LaraAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460415207474314306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499058410224895358.post-40842074958846407962011-02-10T20:05:02.030-08:002011-02-10T20:05:02.030-08:00Lots of memories came flooding back with this post...Lots of memories came flooding back with this post.
