Here are some of the fun things I did growing up in wonderful Middleton, Idaho:
- Shot bottle rockets at cars
- Played hide and go seek in corn fields
- Trapped gophers and made them bit sticks and clumps of dirt
- 4 wheelers pulling sleds around
- Jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler blasting water underneath
- Diving for golf balls at the golf course ponds at 1am
- Tying fishing line to a Davey Crocket hat filled with fruit and dragging it across the road. When cars would hit it, I'd start fake crying saying they killed my cat
- Playing sports and pretending to be professional athletes
- Secretly recording friends and family and then listening to the tape to be nosey
- Prank phone calls (until caller ID was invented)
- Riding down the highway in the bucket of a backhoe tractor
- Riding bikes everywhere (including into town to get ice cream)
- Throwing rocks into ditch canals and to see who could get the biggest splash
- Recording songs from the radio and giving that tape to girls I liked
- Throwing snowballs at pedestrians from a nice hiding spot
- Toilet papering people’s homes
- Rolling down hills until I puke
- Trying to sneak candy bought at the dollar store into the movies
- Stomping on pop cans
- Peeing outside
- Digging holes to set traps for “snipes”
- Picking up range balls along the road and turning them into the golf course for a reward of a root beer.
- Swimming in canals or friends pools and having splash fights
- Playing in mud with no shirt on and putting muddy handprints on each other
- Fishing in the canals
- Building forts where girls were not allowed ever!
- Building ramps for bike jumping
- Going hiking with slingshots in case there were bears
- Playing football with random neighbor kids

YES! mix tapes are the best! :o) What happened to childhood anyway?
Amen brother!
Me and my brothers were always doing stuff outside and having a blast. We experienced life (between the work) but now a days kids do squat and have nothing cool to tell stories about. They are a bunch of metro panzies!
