Did you play outside a lot when you were a kid?

What fun things did you do? I loved to catch frogs after a rain even at night, catch fireflies, explore the country roads and creek, play under the yard sprinklers, etc.

Yes, I used to love playing bare foot in the mud and making mud pies. I used to enjoy stomping in cow pats with my bare feet. I was fascinated how it used to ooze through the toes.

I enjoyed it so much that I still enjoy it today

@SW-User we made mud pies too, put corn in them and let it dry so the chickens had to work & work to pull the corn out, and put them under a box trapped and caught the chickens.

@cherokeepatti that sounds so nice, I wish I worked on a farm like that.

One of my other wishes is to work on a cow farm and muck out the cow sheds with bare feet, I want to feel the cow muck oozing up through my toes.

Also wanted to play in a big pile of cow dung but never got to yet

@SW-User Well that sounds gross

@cherokeepatti it’s just fun, I just like the squishy feeling on my feet

@SW-User walk in mud on a creek then

@cherokeepatti done that, feels amazing. Would still love to try with cow dung someday, just to have done it
