Do Tell: What Activities Make You Feel Like a Kid Again?

Last weekend I had the pleasure of enjoying a quintessential Summer activity: swimming in a lake. I’m not going to lie; at first I was only brave enough to dip my big toe in, but after hanging out in the sun for a while, I finally took the plunge — and it was fun! The best part about being in the water was that it reminded me of how much I loved to swim as a kid, not for the health benefits, but just because of the sheer joy of being in water. Whether it’s slurping down a popsicle or playing boardgames with your family, do tell: What activities bring out the kid in you?

    my boyfriend and I went to this amazing park. I was immediately drawn to the swings! Sooo freakin fun! Luckily I'm pretty short, so I didn't look too ridiculous...

    I have to agree with those who said swinging, and playing board games with my family makes me feel child-like again too.

    I also feel like a kid when we go to Disneyland once or twice a year Laughing out loud

    climbing trees, playing in the park, playing in the rain (I did this a few weeks ago with my sister and nephews and niece ... don't worry it wasn't a storm .. just a gentle sunny summer rain), gosh there are so many things!
    But nothing like swinging. I LOVE to swing. I have a picture of me, my boyfriend, and our friend swinging on the elementary playground at school just before their senior/my junior prom. We were all decked out in prom clothes and swinging! It was so much fun!! Laughing out loud

    As a "foodie" (I HATE that word!) I am one that gets completely child-like and dorky around really good, homemade, comfort food that I associate with my childhood. Throw in a few good friends and you have an instant 10 year old on your hands!

    The swings do it for me too! Also dancing, laughing, skipping and favorite foods from childhood.

    Swinging or just hanging out in the park. Swimming definitely does it too. Usually it's doing the activity and talking about my childhood that makes me feel like a kid.

    I sleep with a snowman toy.
    My boyfriend (soon to be husband) has to put up with him falling on the floor and rescuing him so i dont wake up and panic.

    I buy rubbish at duty free like stuffed animals, kinder chocolates...

    I tear up and pout to get my way

    I play fight with all my friends and stepdad

    My step dad and myself run around like kids hiding things from each other

    Lipsmackers.. i have one in every flavour, size, color, glitteryness... and liquid ones too!!

    Swinging, blowing bubbles (hehe), drawing with chalk, and riding a bike. I rode a bike for the first time in years and it was so awkward. I should start cycling.

    Swimming freely in the ocean (which as an adult is very hard to do), playing Monopoly, playing badminton, and watching cartoons.

    This past weekend me and my SO didn't have the kids for the whole day so we took off and went to Hurrican Harbor water park. We went on all the slides together and then went down seperately and raced. We had such a great time. And it was much needed.
