King of the Mary-go-round

In today's short article we are back at Lake LeAnn, this time at the playground. It is winter with lots of snow, but we always found something to do outside. I am not sure if we were very active kids and loved to go out and play or if mom just told us to go outside and find something to do -- but it seems like no matter whether it was winter or summer, we were always outside playing.

This particular day, we are at the lake and playing at the playground. It is something in February-March 1963.

Here we are on the Mary-go-round. We would make it go faster and faster, all the time throwing snowballs at each other or trying to knock each other off of the Mary-go-round. Left to right we find Pat, Bob, and Rich.

We would rest and start all over again. L-R: Rich, Tim, Pat and Bob.

And being the biggest kid there, I would inevitably end up "King" of the Mary-go-round game. But rest assured we did have supervision and the game did not get out of control. L-R: Rich, Dad and Bob.
