I can remember having a Lite-Brite.  We had at least two kinds of wooden blocks (the kind with letters on them and the kind that you could stack and build with).  I collected Barbies at one point when I was young.  My brother had GI Joes.  I had a few My Little Pony toys, my friend Erin had a larger collection of them.  I can remember having some Little People sets including the Sesame Street house (without the characters), and a barn.  We had a Little People mail truck with plastic letters that went with a set with a police station where you could wind the crank on top to make a siren noise.  My grandma O’Bryant had this Little People boat that I spent many hours playing with in the bathtub.  My grandma Bird bought me lots of collectable dolls. 

I can remember spending lots of time playing outside on the swingset or exploring the woods across the street.  We liked to ride our bikes on a circular street across the street from our house as well and we regularly took walks along the street feeding grass to the cows and horses by our house.  We liked to hide out in the cornfield behind our house.  We’d sometimes knock over a few stalks to make a little house in the middle of the field.
