Nostalgia

Do you remember Pogs? How about kaleidoscopes? Gyroscopes? Giga pets? Animaniacs..."Good idea/Bad idea"? How about the Nintendo Duck Hunt game? Well, I do! Infact, just thinking about them makes me miss my childhood a bit.... like a healthy amount, not a weird over the top amount... :) I can still remember the how the pogs smelt, how the kaleidoscop felt, how the gyrscope sounded, how much I wanted a giga pet, how funny I thought Animaniacs was, and how hard I concentrated when I played Duck Hunt. It's funny looking back now, some of those things that I thought were so cool are really so stupid. Those were some good times! Oh the memories :)

Incase you don't remember here are some pictures and videos to jog your memory...

Pogs: Doug used to share some of his with me, but it was only because he knew he would just win them all back from me the next time we played...


Kaleidoscope: I got one that looked almost exactly like this for one of my birthdays


Gyroscope: This is one of the things that I still think is really cool! I need to go dig my old one out of storage!


Gigapet: This is the one I had. My parents thought it could replace the real dog I wanted...


Good Idea Bad Idea:


Duck hunt: Please don't waste your time watching this whole video... the first little bit is more than enough to get the idea :)

Oh- the good old days! :) I LOVED GOOD IDEA BAD IDEA. My favorite! So- I seriously just walked up to the computer and the girls were checking your blog. (Like starting from scratch.) How do they know how to do that? Open the browser, find our family blog under the book marks and then find the link to yours on the side bar... WOW- I was impressed... then nervous. But I'm glad they opened it so I could see your fun post! :)
