It was a form of tag, but we played in about 40 acres. Boy, did we get the exercise. We also played all the games you mentioned, along with Rummy,Jacks, bad mitton, crocket(sp.), the game with balls and mallets.pidgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14392703561667529032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-72418246450638364592011-02-08T13:25:53.353-05:002011-02-08T13:25:53.353-05:00I forgot to say my brother had the same peg game. ...I forgot to say my brother had the same peg game. It was called Hi-Q. I could do the one where you ended up with a peg in each of the inside corners but not where you ended up with just one peg.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-65863660302457189022011-02-08T13:24:22.336-05:002011-02-08T13:24:22.336-05:00We played all those games, both the indoor and out...We played all those games, both the indoor and outdoor ones. It seems like we "specialized" in a different one every summer. One summer it was Canasta with a kid who never organized his cards so he would pull them from everywhere in his hand and drive me nuts. Another summer it was croquet and I had a broken collar bone so got good at playing one handed. I hated playing Monoply with Dad though; he was SO kind when you owned him too much money. We also played a card game we kids were required to call "Oh, heck!" which friends were required to call "Oh, fudge."Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-63026955675554814732011-02-08T10:46:56.745-05:002011-02-08T10:46:56.745-05:00I played all those same games as a kid... we still...I played all those same games as a kid... we still love playing games and cards.

When I got older it was Cribbage and Scrabble. My younger sister learned to count and add playing Cribbage. It was so funny to see a 4 yr old count 15-2, 15-4.
