[quote=Anonymous]I loved them.  I had a SAHM, my grandparents lived three blocks down the street, and my entire extended family was is the same small town.

In June our town has a big summer festival.  I think it lasts ten days or so. There is a ton to do, and we'd sell cheap soda during two large parades. This funded our fireworks and snack purchases for the summer. My mom or aunts would drop us and our cousins off at the outdoor pool. We'd stay for hours, no real supervision aside from life guards. We road bikes all over town.

There were also some very mundane, super hot days spent in front of a box fan, while my siblings and I fought over the remote.  I had summers where I'd read as many Sweet Valley High or Babysitters Club books imaginable. We had lots of sleep overs with cousins, but didn't really have any playdates with classmates. Even though it was a small town I don't remember seeing a lot of classmates until school started in August. Mostly we hung out with siblings and cousins.

I started babysitting for neighbors and cousins when I was 12-13. Not all day every day, but a few hours here and there. The summer I was 14 I did babysit an infant M-F from 12 to 4. I earned $2.50 an hour.  [/quote]
