Wouldn't you like to be a kid again?
My Naples community is home to many retirees and few kids.
I am going to miss having a parade of candy seekers
ringing my doorbell tonight.

This is really a lovely photo, Jack, so spontaneous... and my answer to your question is "yes, I would".
ReplyDeleteI certainly would like to be a bit younger; I managed to fall over the other day and I fear that I no longer bounce as I once did. That photo makes me feel younger though!
ReplyDeleteA lovely picture... and another yes to your question!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo…it really captures the joy of childhood…who wouldn't want to go back for just a day.
ReplyDeleteSure, I'd give 12 years old another crack. Fun times, no cares...
ReplyDeleteThis IS a wonderful photo, Jack.
ReplyDeleteI don't think being a kid is as stress-free as we adults would like to believe. Kids do have their moments of pure joy, I agree, but I think many adults do too. Just sayin.
That photo made me smile. About a year ago when I went to the Greek festival with my friend David, they had one of these blow up slides. David decided he had just enough kid in him to give it a try and so he did. I tried to capture it on film but, he slid so quickly that all I got where his hands up in the air.
ReplyDeleteYes I would, Jack! Maybe I would have even more fun the 2nd time around. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun, delightful capture, Jack! I do agree with EG, I don't think being a kid is as stress-free as we adults would like to believe -- at least that's what I discovered as a teacher all those years ago!! Hope you have a delightful, fun weekend! Enjoy the moment!
ReplyDeleteShe has such a joyous expression!
ReplyDeleteI'm still a kid. At least my mother reminds me that am. I'm just an old kid.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! So next year drive south on the 1st of November... :-)
ReplyDeleteNo kids at my house at all this year :(
ReplyDeleteWe had an average showing of trick-or-treaters this evening but I adore the little ones, especially those who say thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh, and for the record, I am still a kid. ;-)

Knowing what I know now probably not.
ReplyDeleteWe have fewer and fewer kids at our door with each passing year. Last night almost all of them, including the energetic pre-teen boys, had parents lurking in the street, watching and waiting for them. No cars with kids from other neighborhoods, either. I miss all the activity. Had only 37 trick or treaters come to our decorated door. I have a friend who turns off all her lights and hides in the back of her house. She misses the fun. I love the costume-clad pre-schoolers at the door. In our old neighborhood the parents would accompany the kiddies while appearing with a shot glass in hand. Had one father dressed as Tigger last night. Now these are adults who know how to have fun on Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWheeeeee!
