Welcome to the Come Out and Play Giveaway Hop, hosted by The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!
Now that our cats have finally figured out how to use the cat door to the catio – it’s only been five years, after all – we’re starting to see this phenomenon in our very own house. George or Luna goes out by themselves and then looks soulfully through one of the windows in a – frequently successful – attempt to lure either the other one out OR, even better, to get one of the humans to come out and play with them. It’s adorable!
Around the neighborhood, however, that “come out and play” thing is being repeated up and down the block with slightly taller, two-legged children. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that the puppy dog eyes are pretty much the same on the faces of children of all species.
Since the theme of this blog hop is “Come Out and Play”, consider this an invitation to come into my blog and play at a chance of one of Reading Reality’s usual prizes, the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books.
To play at chances for more prizes, be sure to visit the other stops on this hop!

Thanks for the giveaway. I remember my parents taking me to the beach and making sandcastles. 🙂
I remember playing in the sprinkler as a kid
I remember how long the days were, it seemed like you just had hours and hours of daylight to play in. You could even go back outside to play after dinner, as long as you’d eaten all of your vegetables, lol
I remember biking all of the time.
I remember being given a home made popsicle to take outside to sit on the swing set to eat.
I remember going on long bike rides all over the city, playing at the park, going to the swimming pool and meeting friends around the corner and playing marbles, roller skating and enjoying the long and beautiful summer days that seemed endless and perfect.
Playing in the pool with my friends.
Hide and Seek until dark.
Climbing the apple trees in our backyard and riding my horse.

Summertime growing up in my neighborhood was amazing. There was always something going on at our plaza…art shows, sidewalk sales, lumberjack competitions, bands…it was a real community gathering place. We also had a terrific community pool and our library had summer reading programs and summer acting workshops for kids. Then there was the 4th of July carnival. That’s on top of nightly games of tag, hide and seek, or softball until the streetlights came on and you had to go home.
What I remember best is playing baseball with my sister and the dog to chase the ball.
I spent a lot of time with my cousins at the beach.

My favorite summer memories revolve around our backyard pool. The feeling of cool water against the summer heat, the laughter and splash fights, and the pure joy of jumping in to create the biggest splash possible. I fondly remember the afternoons spent floating lazily, lost in my thoughts, and the barbecue parties that inevitably ended with everyone taking a dive. Those were carefree, sun-soaked days that encapsulated the spirit of summer for me

I remember playing outside with the neighborhood/babysitter kids until the streetlights came on. We would run around, build things, put on our made up plays, and make ramps to ride our bikes on.
I remember long, lazy summer days and being able to stay out until dark when I was younger and well after when I was a little older.
I loved being outdoors since childhood. I remember running through the sprinkler in the yard during the summer months when I was a kid. Long bike rides across town, playing in the park, going to the swimming pool roller skating enjoyed beautiful summer days.
