Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
I'm going to really show my age here but the big thing for us when I was a kid was playing army (back then, parents would buy an absolute arsenal of play-weapons for their kids!). This was way before video games. If we weren't playing army, it was a pickup game of baseball, basketball or football.
That was back when the most kick-ass weapons on the battlefield were maces and halberds, right?

First US Comic I bought from a newsagent was Justice League of America #97
Just loved the cover - you simply knew who were the stars, by reading the roll call....

You mean before girls ? :wanK:
Me too bro, I'd climb nearly every tree I could find. A few of them we made "Forts" up in them with scrap plywood sheets. 15' off of the ground was pretty fuggin high when I was about 10 or 11 y/o !
I also loved to harvest many thousands of bing cherries every summer and sell them out front of the house. Most of the cherries were picked by climbing the trees, all 4 of them. I would go to unimaginable lengths to pick every last cherry on those trees, otherwise it would keep me up at night just thinking about that sweet fresh fruit going to waste :o
We'd also ride minibikes and enduros, go plinkin with my ol Marlin 22 Longrifle (when out of the city limits), Race BMX, pinch the girls in the ass, dig underground caves of unimaginable size and depth ! It was kind neat until the holes would fill up with sow bugs, spiders, earwigs, millipedes, etc.
Squish squash ! :uohs:

Remember those "Pop Guns" about the size of a Daisy lever action bb gun ? We'd have wars with those things, the ammo was simply made available by thrusting the barrel into a freshly watered lawn, cock the action and blammo ! out comes a moist dirt plug !
Suckers would sting !
More fave pastimes as a kid :
Work on my "Wrist Rocket" slingshot trajectory / accuracy.
Have lemon, water balloon and / or Magnolia Bud wars.
For those of you familiar with the Magnolia tree buds, they'd end up on the ground under the trees, they sorta look like little hand grenades, or so we imagined. Anyway, these buds have a stem that, when you snap it off you'd have to throw it before it exploded !
It was amazing how much fun that a kid can have with absolutely nothing other than a few trees to climb, a good sized pile of dirt, a shovel and some flat stones to skip across the moonlit lake. Did I grow up with some good amenities ? sure I did, but many times I recall leaving the amenities behind, only to find a new adventure in natures materials etc.
Oh, one more - We built this "micro dam" (dirt & logs) using rain water runoff - the sucker probably held about 2,000 gallons of water by storms' end
Climbing trees and reading Transformers comics, how it put me on the path I'm on today I have no idea
Playing on a gameboy , reading and later on playing soccer. And watching tv ofcourse.
