What did I love to do as a kid, before high school?

I loved to play RISK.  My brother Joe got me hooked, but quit playing at the point that I beat him.  My buddies and I played it all the time.

I loved to go camping and backpacking.  My father took me every summer up into the High Uintahs. I spent a lot of time camping with the Boy Scouts as well.

I started a coin collection and would spend some of my paper route money buying coins that I thought were cool.  Scott Donaldson and I would ride our bikes down to a coin shop in Provo on a regular basis.  This was a time when we could still find silver coins and wheat back pennies in circulation.

I liked to play with Hot Wheels cars and race tracks.

I liked to play neighborhood night games--mostly Hide and Seek.

I liked to go fishing with my dad.

I loved to go to BYU sporting events with my dad.  We watched football and basketball back in the day of Virgil Carter, Kresimir Cosic, etc. 

I loved to play Ennie Aye Over: two teams, one in the front yard and one in the back yard.  The team with the ball calls "Rennie-aye-over," and throws the ball over the house.  If the other team catches the ball they run around the house and capture another player by hitting them with the ball.  Way fun.
