That's awesome. We would play neighborhood tag as well...the only rule was you couldn't cross the street. But all front and back yards on the square "block" were fair game. Made for a pretty good playing field (about 8 or 9 backyards that backed up to each other). Any climbable tree was a safe "base", but you had to be all the way on the first branch before getting tagged. Whomever was "it" just roamed the neighborhood looking for victims. Hours of fun. Awesome how creative kids can be....and that we used to be able to do stuff like that. Like you said, these days, there are VERY few neighborhoods where you could still do something like this. -- Señores y señoras: Nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tú tienes, pero los queremos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
