> Yes!!! That was the best. Also, our downstairs carpet was red, so it, naturally, became lava.

...nice variation! Our carpet was blue, therefore, water...hadn't thought of that before.


Hours of fun and enjoyment, jumping from couch to couch to having to walk up the stairs using only the wall and that little molding stuff around the bottom. And we had walking on the wall through the upstairs hallway down to a science. One foot and one hand on each side (no socks, of course), you could actually touch the ceiling. My mom, though, hated washing the fingerprints off the top of the hallway walls

...you sound more acrobatic than we were, although once we did manage to knock over a 6' x 7' completely full bookcase once during an especially exciting session...

> My sister (the older one, the one who doesn't hang out at RinkWorks, but first introduced me to Computer Stupidities) and I would also spend hours "play acting" out different part. Somehow, she always ended up getting the cool Princess part, and I was the lowely Princess's servant part. And whenever the searchlights where on (ok, so they were only advertising some new store opening or something) it was Darth Vader, looking for the escaped Princess and her servant. :) Ahhh...the joys of youth!

...here again, a different generation but the same idea: we were Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, riding out ponies across the desert (vacant lot next door). I was miffed because I always had to be Dale Evans, who of course never got any of the good lines or much of the action.

We also tape recorded many of our adventures, and a couple of years ago, I found the tape, made a copy, and gave it to my sister for her birthday.
