March Post / Hide In Seek

Hide In Seek

We loved to play hide and seek what ever time of the day that it was. There were thousands of great places to hide and running back to base without getting caught when you were found was just as much fun as hiding.

In the summer you could climb up in the trees and hide, as long as you were still it was hard to be found. We could hide in honey suckle patches as long as we wore green or brown clothing. If you wore bright colored clothes you were caught much quicker because you would be spotted faster.

The most fun was at night and you could hide almost anywhere and they would be right on you before they saw you and sometimes you could jump out on them and they would be startled giving you enough time to run back to base.

We had a black family that worked for my family, the dad hauled furniture and appliances for my dad and the mother cleaned house for my mom. Whenever the kids came to work with their parents we would play games together.

One thing was for sure, if we played hiding seek they would be harder to find.
