I did fall out of a tree...I don't recommend it!
My sister, brother and I grew up at the coast and the beach played an important part of our "play time." Swimming, row boating, fishing, floating on innertubes, were things that we did...as well as bicycling, rollerskating, sledding and ice skating in winter (little swamp "lakes" near the shore froze early and solidly). I do remember playing cowboys and each of us would have a small piece of rope in our hands...they were the reins of our horses. Games of jump rope, red rover, etc, were played more at school than at home....at home we were more on the go than not.
