Tee Hee. Sorry, but I couldn't resist using a Dubya quote for this entry. I am naughty sometimes. Anyway, this challenge had me stumped until last Monday, when I saw this great little game of hopscotch taking place outside my therapist's office. It made me smile, because I haven't seen children playing that particular game in quite a while. Years probably. It's nice to know there is still something from my childhood, which was, you know, way back in the stone age of the late 1960's and early 70's. Sheesh that sounds like a long time ago. How did we ever survive as children without the Internets or iPods or... yikes... cell phones? LOL.
Thank you Jill for the great little challenge! I was looking everywhere for numbers, and when I finally found them, it brought back some really nice memories.

Good one, Carly! I see those around our neighborhood all the time, plus lots of chalk art. Lots of kids here.
I actually have a photo of my sister and I playing hopscotch just ten years ago or so! Definitely beyond my childhood! :o)
Oh the memories! I LOVE this, what a great idea.
Monica
It's been a while since I've played hopscotch!
I played too :)

Sherrie

You're right, now that I think about it. I haven't seen a hopscotch drawing in decades. It does bring back fond memories.
Vicki
Very very smart pic.
Love the quote as well.
I vaule your comment on mine....do drop by.
Have a good weekend.
Excellent! I love these numbers.
That certainly brings back memories..except I was a counry girl ..so mine was drawn in the dirt with a stick! Great Photo Carly! :)
What a great inerpretation of the challenge! I love it!
Very neat photo of numbers! It definitely brings back memories of playing hopscotch as a girl. All those many years ago (mainly in the 50's). I'm glad you found this one. And the Dubya quote is great! LOL!
Hi Carly
I almost did the Hopscotch idea however, I wasn't lucky enough to run into one and when I tried to recreate it it just didn't quite work out. Great minds...
Thanks for the invitation to the challenge on Ellipsis. I will have a look at it.
Chris

Stone age ! what should I say ? I played this already as a child in 1948 ! I too think it's nice that it still exists, something which has survived.
Nice shot !
Thanks for your kind comment !
Oh I loved Hopscotch! Though we set it up differently.
Nice, "big" pic!

Aww! It's good to know kids still play games that don't require a battery or a power cord.
Even as a kid, I thought someone should do a long-term study of kid culture, what survives from generation to generation and who keeps it going - adults or other kids passing it on.
HI Carly! I love that photo!!!! Very nostaligic for me too. Haven't seen one of those in ages but use to play hopscotch when I was a kid, too. Thanks for the memories!
Michael and I still play hopscotch..he has his own set of rules...go figure. This one made me smile.
What a perfect entry! (And a perfect quote too!)
Hi Carly! Oh you are taking me back!
So sorry I'm so late in getting around to our Numbers challenge. My modem died on Saturday and then the weekend just got more and more bizarre! I'm happy to be able to visit today and see all the fun number shots. Enjoy your week!
