Memories of being a kid remind of days when an alarm clock was the scent of fresh pancakes climbing the stairs from your mother’s pan. A time card was a curfew and a lunch break was a ball game on a playground in between math and science. A paycheck was a pocket of change after a long day selling avocados on the side of the road and a citation was the raiding of your Halloween candy stash.
In time, responsibilities grow, schedules dictate and the life void of stress fades to that only of a faint memory. Your favorite grass stained jeans are traded in for slacks. Your collection of baseball cards have been pawned and your best friend no longer whispers secrets, but advises finances.
Though adulthood approaches rapidly, there are still places and times to relive childhood memories. The toss of a frisbee in a park, a coaster at a fair and a local favorite- a day at the beach.
On Monday, July 4th, a group of Independence Day celebrators relived their childhood memories by taking out a long forgotten Summer past-time. One by one, sunburned and soggy bodies slid across the 50ft long Slip N Slide, launched off a jump and slid into the ocean.
A hefty jump launched the soapy sliders into the air along with wild cheers from the crowd. The landing was rough and caused passersby to wince in pain though, like a kid absent of consequence, the sliders took flight with only one question on their mind… how high and far?
How do you relive your childhood?
