What fun things did you usually do during the summer when you were a child? Play outdoor games, usually hide and seek. Parents made us go hide while they pretended to seek. Sometimes we did the kick the can game too.
Do you do still do any of those fun summer things? LOL...no
Of the fun summer things you don’t do any more, which ones would you most like to do again if you could? Hide and seek. Then I could read my favorite magazines.
What was the happiest summer of your life, the one you wish you could go back and relive? None to speak of except the 2 weeks I was sent away to summer camp in the mountains, that was neat.
BONUS QUESTIONS
Have you known any twins [or multiples]? Not personally, just the Olson Twins and the DoubleMint Twins.
Did they dress alike, or did they maintain separate identities? Same dress, they looked the same too..

Good morning, everyone! It’s September first and the last weekend of summer. Before we put away our shorts and swimsuits and get out our wool scarves and winter coats, let’s do some reminiscing about happy summer times. What'cha talkin' 'bout Willis! It's hotter than a sizzlin', roasted habanero pepper here in Chatterland so we ain't about to get those wool scarves and winter coats out just yet ...

Play outside in the water/sprinkers (we did not have a pool) and go to Redondo Beach Pier

Nope ... Don't live close enough to Redondo Beach (although I did go on my birthday this year) and I don't play in the sprinklers
Of the fun summer things you don’t do any more, which ones would you most like to do again if you could?
N/A
What was the happiest summer of your life, the one you wish you could go back and relive?
I can't think of the happiest summer as my life has been a blur with ups and downs.

Yes ... I've known at least three sets of identical twins - two sets were classmates and the other attended my church.
Did they dress alike, or did they maintain separate identities?
Separate identities ...

TODAY'S QUESTIONS
What fun things did you usually do during the summer when you were a child? The whole family would go camping. During my early teen years I would bum airplane rides from strangers. I also wore out my bike in just 2 summers. For a couple years we had a 12 foot skiff with an outboard motor. I spent a lot of time zooming up and down the river.
Do you do still do any of those fun summer things? Not any more.
Of the fun summer things you don’t do any more, which ones would you most like to do again if you could? I would like to do all of them again.
What was the happiest summer of your life, the one you wish you could go back and relive? Once I turned eight and decided to no longer be sick, every summer was the happiest. If I really had to pick one it would be the first summer I spent in Sitka Alaska when I was 16. My dad worked for the Federal Government and they had a 50 foot work boat the would run supplies to outlying stations. I did not have a summer job that year so every week I would ride the boat for a day.
BONUS QUESTIONS Have you known any twins [or multiples]? One place I lived there was a family that had 3 sets of twins. First 2 boys. Then 2 girls. Last they had a boy and a girl. I knew the 2 boys and the 2 girls fairly well. In fact, the only wedding I have ever been to was for one of the girls.
Did they dress alike, or did they maintain separate identities? By the time I got to know them they were in high school and had pretty much developed their own identities
JUST FOR FUN Have you ever wished you were a twin? Nope. I have a sister 2 years older than me. That is enough.

TODAY'S QUESTIONS What fun things did you usually do during the summer when you were a child?
Growing up in England, summer was always a bit hit and miss - a warm day or two here and there, a really hot day maybe once or twice, and rainy days quite often. On non-rainy days we used to mainly hang out at the 'rec' (the recreation ground - had swings, a roundabout and see-saw, a cricket pitch and football pitch). We played on the swings etc., and when tired of that would sit on the grass and make daisy and buttercup chains.
Do you do still do any of those fun summer things?
Nope - swings and roundabouts make me feel queasy - and no daisies or buttercups where I now live!
Of the fun summer things you don’t do any more, which ones would you most like to do again if you could? It might be fun to make daisy chains!
What was the happiest summer of your life, the one you wish you could go back and relive?
No one summer stands out.
BONUS QUESTIONS Have you known any twins [or multiples]? I've never personally known both in a set of twins, but I have a few friends who are a twin (but I don't know their twin).
Did they dress alike, or did they maintain separate identities?
They're boy/girl combos, so no!
JUST FOR FUN Have you ever wished you were a twin? No - I used to wish I was an only child so I wouldn't always get blamed for everything my brother did!

Hooray! It's September! Now about that cooler weather.
TODAY'S QUESTIONS What fun things did you usually do during the summer when you were a child? Ride bikes, go swimming, explore the woods and creeks Do you do still do any of those fun summer things? I go swimming when I get the chance. Of the fun summer things you don’t do any more, which ones would you most like to do again if you could? Intrepidly explore creek beds? Best down at about age 10. What was the happiest summer of your life, the one you wish you could go back and relive? Any that involved the above and didn't involve getting a sun burn.
BONUS QUESTIONS Have you known any twins [or multiples]? I have brothers who are identical twins. Did they dress alike, or did they maintain separate identities? Our parents let them be individuals.
