    I loved Kool Aid, I loved collecting points from the back of packages so I could get Kool Aid man things. Like these guys:

    And those little snappers .. those teardrop shaped poppers that came in a box during 4th of july and new years.. they were way better when we were kids.

    Plus .. everyone took one to the face at some point. That and tried to pop one between their fingers. hahaha.

    I remember taping off the radio! Aside from the DJ talking at the beginning and end of every song, there was always my mother talking to me in the background. LOL

    I remember Polaroid cameras, and a I think Kodak made one that had a flat disc as the film.

    The Lost Boys!!!!

    And I also wanted to be a Goonie :)

    I remember going camping and heating water over an open fire. My mom washing me on the picnic table with hot a soapy wash cloth and rinsing one area at a time and tucking me into my sleeping bag in the tent. Good times!

    Remember: Tang, chalk hop scotches drawn on the driveway, watermellon parties for the whole neighborhood, riding bikes everywhere, going to the local pool every summer day, going to the movies to see a matinee' of Godzilla on super hot days.

    Awww good times.
