We used to bring waxed paper with us to the park to rub on those metal slides, we would sit on a square and really zoom down that slide.

Other memories: catching fire flies on summer evenings, putting them in jars and watching them light up. Slip n slides and running through the sprinkler on hot summer days, drinking water straight out of the hose, Monopoly Marathons. I also remember long days spent with my nose in a book, reading both classic and contemporary stories just for fun.
