Nope, parents bought swing sets for the back yard.

Pretty sure most elementary school playgrounds had slides, swings and monkey bars back in the dark ages. And they were those nice, straight slides that seemed about 20' tall.

You didn’t have slides and swings in the 60’s?

Dang.

Just the wheel with the stick thingy?

I was thinking that we played at home in our own yard running around, kicking balls, playing with green army guys in the sand box, plastic horses etc.

Shuuush Leave the kids wondering. But we really did have it set up in the yard too. I built my kids a nice swing set many moons ago. For the building challenged: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Playgrou...s/N-5yc1vZc5pk

Oh we used to play with broken glass too - not kidding. We'd pick up broken bottles people threw out their car onto the road and smash them with rocks on the top of the corner fire hydrant until it resembled sugar. Kids! LOL!

Do not taunt happy fun ball.

You're doomed with this bunch

I’ve been locked up in this small two bedroom 900 SF apartment with my boyfriend since last Saturday.
I’ll take my chances.

Green Army Men

As a kid my wealthy aunt offered to buy me anything at the toy store for my Christmas present. I picked the Green army Men.

Which one was your favorite? The grenade tosser, the prone sniper, the kneeling machine-gunner?
I liked the Bazooka dude.

Bazooka is such a good word.

My favorite was paratroopers. They had a chute that would deploy when you threw them and they would float, It was pretty cool

I had one of those. Asked my mom to buy it for me when I was around six or seven. She had no idea what it was all about and I had to show her how it worked. Too bad the little fucker didn't come with a bazooka.

Always felt kinda bad for radio guy. Didn’t like the standing rifleman because he was easiest to knock over in battle of the Lincoln Logs

Wasn't there a prone guy firing with a bipod? That one was awesome. Bayonet guy was good, too.

Mebee I should dig out my Sears Blue and the Grey set or the giant Battleground set? I could do an entire house Hotwheels track with jumps and loop de loops.
